growpart working (extend the FS if the disk is larger than the current partition).Makes sense for a cloud image (it replaces the root user). a default user 'centos', with sudo without password.On a public image, this should absolutely be set to 'True' (or 1 here).īy the way, the CentOS shipped config will have: It's indicating that existing ssh keys should be deleted on a per-instance basis. Almost all default parameters are OK, just modify this one: ssh_deletekeys: 1 The main configuration file for CloudInit is inside /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg. Growpart package will allow to extend your template if necessary. Now the system is install, let's go inside the console, login as root and install Cloudinit!īut first, we'll update our system: $ yum updateĬloudInit installation: $ yum install cloud-init cloud-utils-growpart Insert the 'xs-tools.iso', mount it, and install them with rpm i. Or you can de-activate them if you don't care with your future template.īefore setting CloudInit, you can install XenServer Xen Tools: this way, they will be shipped with your template. you can let DVD or Network after, in case you'll have problem with your OS.just verify your boot order: Hard-drive first! (faster to boot).Now your VM installed, let's configure it: It could be a weak password because we'll deactivate it later. To allow future disk growing, you need to create only one partition on the 10 GiB disk:Ĭonfigure your root password. Put a CentOS ISO, netinstall is a good option.ĬPU, RAM could be changed later, so no worries with that now. Use the 'CentOS 7' template (you can use the 'Other install media' if you don't have this template). I need xen tools installed so that I can perform clean shutdown for UPS.TL DR: a working template is available here if you want.Īfter implementing the XenServer Cloud Init support in Xen Orchestra, let's see now how to create a compatible template 'from scratch'. This is what # conary update conary: command not # conary update conary: command not #Ĭan someone please advise how I can get this installed? I have tried all my best but still no success.Īny luck? I am getting the same problem trying to install Xen tools on EFW 2.3 community. Sorry for not being helpful, but how did you manage to install EFW on Xenserver 5.6?. Has anyone got this running or is this a paid version only feature? I then tried installing the RPMs found on the xs-tools.iso (xe-guest-utilities-5.6. and xe-guest-utilities-xenstore-5.6.) they seemed to install but not do anything. When I mounted the xs-tools.iso and tried to run install.sh it returned 'Fatal Error: Failed to determine Linux distribution and version' The only thing that I haven't mannaged to get running is Xen-Tools. So I have EFW-Community-2.4 running well on XenServer 5.6.
