#xenserver-tools

This CD contains the Citrix XenServer Tools and Drivers for supported guest operating systems. You will need to install them to get the best performance from your virtual machine, and to access advanced features such as XenMotion.

Windows users should install the Windows drivers using the installwizard.msi installer in the top-level of this CD. This setup utility will install the latest versions of the drivers, and automatically upgrade any older versions.

Linux users need to install the guest tools from the /Linux directory on this CD. This will ensure your Linux VM has access to advanced features such as XenMotion and in-guest performance metrics.

In addition, we have provided a number of kernel files, which are mostly based on the vendor-provided kernels, but provide specific enhancements for improved stability and performance when running on XenServer.

You can install the required packages by running install.sh like so:

$ /Linux/install.sh

where is the CD mount point.

To omit the kernel upgrade pass the -k flag to install.sh.
