Linux VMs 编辑

When you want to create a Linux VM, create the VM using a template for the operating system you want to run on the VM. You can use a template that Citrix Hypervisor provides for your operating system, or one that you created previously. You can create the VM from either Citrix Hypervisor Center or the CLI. This section focuses on using the CLI.

Note:

To create a VM of a newer minor update of a RHEL release than is supported for installation by Citrix Hypervisor, complete the following steps:

• Install from the latest supported media
• Use yum update to bring the VM up-to-date

This process also applies to RHEL derivatives such as CentOS and Oracle Linux.

We recommend that you install the Citrix VM Tools for Linux immediately after installing the operating system. For more information, see Install Citrix VM Tools for Linux.

The overview for creating a Linux VM is as following:

1. Create the VM for your target operating system using Citrix Hypervisor Center or the CLI.

2. Install the operating system using vendor installation media.

3. Install the Citrix VM Tools for Linux (recommended).

4. Configure the correct time and time zone on the VM and VNC as you would in a normal non-virtual environment.

Citrix Hypervisor supports the installation of many Linux distributions as VMs.

Warning:

The Other install media template is for advanced users who want to attempt to install VMs running unsupported operating systems. Citrix Hypervisor has been tested running only the supported distributions and specific versions covered by the standard supplied templates. Any VMs installed using the Other install media template are not supported.

For information regarding specific Linux distributions, see Installation notes for Linux distributions.

Supported Linux distributions

For a list of supported Linux distributions, see Guest operating system support.

Other Linux distributions are not supported. However, distributions that use the same installation mechanism as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (for example, Fedora Core) might be successfully installed using the same template.

Create a Linux VM

This section includes procedures for creating a Linux VM by installing the OS from a physical CD/DVD or from a network-accessible ISO.

Create a Linux VM by using the xe CLI

1. Create a VM from the appropriate template. The UUID of the VM is returned:

   xe vm-install template=template-name new-name-label=vm-name
