XenServer Driver Installation
Creating a Driver Update Disk (DUD) with a USB Drive
Chapter 9: XenServer Driver Installation
This chapter describes how to install the XenServer®5.0 OS, XenServer 6.0 OS, XenServer 6. 1 OS, and the
XenServer 6.2 OS.
NOTE The XenServer OS driver support is for 32-bit systems only.
9.1 Creating a Driver Update Disk (DUD) with a USB Drive
You can transfer a driver disk image to a USB drive with the rawrite tool from DOS®, or the dd utility in Linux. The URL
for the rawrite tool is
http://www.tux.org/pub/dos/rawrite . On a Linux machine, you can use the dd command to burn
a driver ISO image on a USB drive.
Perform the following steps to create a DUD with a USB drive.
1. Insert a USB stick into a Linux machine, making sure that the USB drive is not mounted.
2. Type the following command:
"$ dd if= of=/dev/sdx"
where /dev/sdx is the USB drive.
3. Press Enter.
4. Mount the USB stick to verify its contents.
5. Make sure the DUD image is in iso9660 format or msdos format by typing the following command:
$df -T
6. Press Enter.
The file system type and other information about the mounted devices appear.
9.2 Installing the XenServer 6.x OS on Storage Managed by a MegaRAID Controller
(Primary Storage)
This section describes how to set up the XenServer 6 OS on your host system. The Citrix® Server CD-ROM consists of
XenServer and Client. You can use the XenServer CD-ROM to install the Client on a Windows-based system.
LSI distributes the LSI XenServer 6.0 and 6.1 driver in an ISO image. You can update the drivers during the installation
or you can update them when new drivers become available.
NOTE For primary storage, before you install the LSI driver, you must have
your MegaRAID controller already installed in the system. Refer to the
installation guide that came with your controller for the installation
instructions. You can download the installation guide at
