XenServer is an enterprise-class, cloud-proven, virtualization platform that delivers all of the critical features needed for any server and datacenter virtualization implementation. The following list summarizes some of the key capabilities of XenServer, and a complete technical FAQ can be found on the Citrix support web site.XenServer is based on the Xen Project hypervisor. The Xen Project hypervisor is a bare metal virtualization platform used by XenServer to deliver near native application performance for x86 workloads in an Intel and AMD environment.Packed with practical advice, this hands-on guide provides valuable information you need to most effectively optimize and manage the XenServer open source virtualization platform. Whether you run a modest installation of a few blades or multiple global enterprise datacenters, this book focuses on the most critical issues youre likely to encounter when designing a XenServer deployment and helps you handle day-to-day management tasks.Tim Mackey and J.K. Benedict from Citrix Systems, the company that manages XenServer, show you how to design a deployment through best practices, deployment blueprints, and installation guidelines. The books second part features concise, easy-to-implement recipes for day-to-day management, such as user rights, backup strategies, and hardware maintenance.Learn precisely what makes a XenServer work, and how it can host 1000 virtual machines.
Explore the core components of a production XenServer environment.
Investigate several options on how and where to install XenServer.
Examine several factors for right sizing your XenServer deployment to fit your needs.
Work with a decision tree to optimize your XenServer deployment design.
Understand how to accommodate guest VM virtualization modes.
Use recipes that help you plan for, obtain, and apply XenServer upgrades.

With more than 150,000 organizations running XenServer virtualization in a production environment, it is easily one of the most popular platforms available for virtual machine (VM) management. Since its inception as a research project of the University of Cambridge in 2001, the core Xen Project hypervisor has consistently pushed the boundaries of data center computing. The XenServer technology was acquired from XenSource in 2007 by Citrix, and the technology has evolved to support high-density virtualization for both cloud and desktop workloads.
XenServer furthered its leadership role when, in 2013, Citrix partnered with NVIDIA to deliver true hardware graphics virtualization using NVIDIA GRID and XenServer to define a new class of virtual workload: the high-performance graphics workstation. Even more recently, this new type of virtual workload has been expanded to leverage both Intel and AMD video cards for Windows- and Linux-based Guest VMs.
This is the environment XenServer administrators are increasingly being called upon to optimize and manage. This book seeks to provide practical guidance for how to plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot a modern XenServer environment. Our goal is that regardless of whether you manage a modest installation of a few blades or multiple global enterprise data centers, if youve found XenServer to be a critical component of your organization, then there will be valuable content for the successful operation of your XenServer deployment.
To easily fulfill the goals of this book, namely providing administrators with the information they need to be successful with XenServer, weve organized the content into two parts.
Part 1 covers the content most valuable during the design phase of a deployment. This is where youll find information on the architecture of XenServer, installation guidelines, best practices, and deployment blueprints. Some of the information in this portion of the book includes:
- Exactly what a XenServer is
- The critical components that make up a XenServer environment
- Installation of XenServer hosts
- Storage, network, and management paradigms
Part 2 covers day-to-day management information. Everything from log management through backup strategies are presented. The majority of the content in this section is provided in simple problem statements with easy resolutions. Its important to note that when resolutions are provided, the answer may include either XenCenter or command-line instructions. Most solutions will include the simplest path to resolution over presenting multiple solutions and going into detailed analysis of root causes.
From seasoned compile-it-from-scratch Xen experts to college students maintaining a virtualized infrastructure in their spare time, this book was written with the specific purpose of making any XenServer administrator, experience aside, successful from installation to system-based lifecycle management.
No one person has ever climbed out of bed, headed into the office, and become a spontaneous XenServer administrator. Even we continue to learn from our colleagues and the Xen community; and we keep our own skills sharpened. It is this constant type of learning and problem solving that keeps us enthusiastic, driven, and energetic about XenServers power to create an infrastructure. It is all this and more that, in turn, we have presented within these pages: something new or something familiar to ensure you have a successful XenServer deployment story to share with others.
This book was specifically written to cover XenServer 6.5. At the time of its writing, XenServer Dundee was under development, and pre-release installers were publicly available. Some functionality is expected to be changing in Dundee, but there is no guarantee the pre-release changes wont be changed prior to final release. Where changes are known to exist in a preview form, well let you know.
At heart, we are absolute tech geeks. We both enjoy working with the latest technology while solving some pretty cool problems. When working with customers or users, were both trying to find ways to quickly resolve whatever issue caused the customer or user to reach out for help. It is this passion for technology, coupled with an understanding for what it means to run software in production, that drove us to write this book. Put simply, we want every XenServer admin to be successful with XenServer, and this is one way to accomplish that goal.
