Access XenServer via XenCenter, PowerShell, or the console to manage servers, create VMs and pools, configure storage and networks, use templates, and join domains.
Learn how to import, export, and transfer virtual machines across hypervisors using standard formats, preserving MAC addresses and using fix-up tools for cross-platform compatibility.
Execute hotfix management and in-place upgrades for Citrix XenServer 8.1 LTSR, applying automatic or manual patches via design center and keeping VMs online with live patching.
Create your first resource pool by configuring shared storage, adding a storage repository, and joining two servers. Move VMs between storage and pool and manage the pool master.
Explore configuring XenServer networking by reviewing physical interfaces, multiple NICs, management networks, and bonding options to create private or shared networks within XenCenter.
Enable ha on your pool to automatically restart the master after hardware failure, with storage and pool database replication, plus fencing and heartbeat checks to prevent split brain.
Learn security best practices for Citrix XenServer 8.1 LTSR administration, including dedicated role management (VM admin, VM operator, read-only), automatic updates, trusted certificates, and protection against attacks.

What is XenServer
First release in 2003
Xen was developed by University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
Xen community maintains Xen as a free and open-source software
Xen is managing the RAM and CPU for the VMs
Xen is a type 1 hypervisor
The Type 1 hypervisor is referred to as the “bare-metal” hypervisor. This means that it runs directly on the physical hardware of the host machine — it doesn’t have to load an underlying Operating System before that.
Enjoy this training
We will use Vsphere to virtualize XenServer
