Creating a Driver Update Disk with a USB Drive
Chapter 9: XenServer Driver Installation
This chapter describes how to install the XenServer® 5.6 FP1 OS, XenServer 6.2 OS, and XenServer 6.5 OS.
NOTE The XenServer OS driver support is for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
9.1 Creating a Driver Update Disk 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 driver update disk (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.
NOTE Make sure that you pick the correct DUD image from the Avago
release bundle. The DUD image should match with the installed OS
kernel version.
3. Press Enter.
4. Mount the USB stick to verify its contents.
5. Make sure the DUD image is in iso9660 format or MS-DOS 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 Operating System 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.
Avago distributes the Avago XenServer 6.2 and 6.5 drivers 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 Avago 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
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads .
Perform the following steps to install the XenServer 6.2 or 6.5 OS driver at boot time on storage managed by a
MegaRAID controller. This procedure contains additional actions for the XenServer 5.6 FP1OS in step
20 .
