Installing the XenServer Linux Pack After XenServer Deployment

Rob Goodair — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 10:20:34 +0000

Download the Linux supplemental pack from citrix.com
Upload the ISO to XenServer using WinSCP
From the XenServer console (or Putty), go to the directory the ISO was uploaded in to
Run the following commands:
mkdir -p /mnt/iso mount -o loop XS-linuxcd.iso /mnt/iso cd /mnt/iso
Now run ./install.sh
The client will begin installing. There will be a momentary loss of connectivity to XenCenter whilst XAPI is restarted
