Chapter 9: XenServer Driver Installation
This chapter describes how to install the XenServer® 6.0 OS.
9.1 Installing the XenServer 6.0 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 driver in an ISO image. You can update the drivers during the installation or you
can update them when new drivers become available.
Perform the following steps to install the XenServer 6.0 OS driver at boot time on storage managed by a
MegaRAID controller:
1. Create a CD with the LSI XenServer driver ISO image.
LSI provides the LSI XenServer 6.0 driver in an ISO image named megaraid_sas-v06.504.01.00-
2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs6.0.0.529.170661.iso
.
2. Disconnect all SCSI, ATA, and SAS devices in the system, except for the CD, and the hard drives connected to the
MegaRAID controller.
3. Create the RAID virtual drives on the MegaRAID controller using WebBIOS or Preboot CLI.
See Section 2.1.1, Storage Configuration , for instructions on how to create a RAID virtual drive.
4. Press F9 and insert the CD-ROM containing the driver to install new drivers.
The default driver works with the 2208-based MegaRAID controller during new installation.
5. Follow the prompts to continue the installation.
6. When prompted to install a supplemental pack, insert the CD-ROM that contains the LSI XenServer driver ISO
image and select OK during the new installation.
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 steps.
