XenServer

By Simon, 10 September, 2013

I've been slowly converting some of our VM infrastructure over to XenServer from VMWare. Now that XenServer 6.2 is fully open source, it seems to be a good place to transition. Sometimes incredibly simple tasks take you down a rabbit hole you did not plan on going down.

I must confess I spent hours trying different methods and partition schemes. The K.I.S.S. approach is really the way to go here. I found this article to be the simplest and most practical solution, and have updated it here to cover any CentOS 6.4 / XenServer 6.2 issues. It's based on the assumption that you don't have an overly complicated VM partition scheme.
