XenCenter

Complete New VM Creation

Note:

XenCenter YYYY.x.x is currently in preview and is not supported for production use. Note that any future references to production support apply only when XenCenter YYYY.x.x and XenServer 8 go from preview status to general availability.

You can use XenCenter YYYY.x.x to manage your XenServer 8 and Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 non-production environments. However, to manage your Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 production environment, use XenCenter 8.2.7. For more information, see the XenCenter 8.2.7 documentation.

You can install XenCenter 8.2.7 and XenCenter YYYY.x.x on the same system. Installing XenCenter YYYY.x.x does not overwrite your XenCenter 8.2.7 installation.

On the last page of the New VM wizard, choose Start VM automatically to ensure the new VM starts up automatically when it is installed.

The process of creating the VM might take some time. The time it takes depends on the size of the template and the speed and bandwidth of the network connection between the destination server and XenCenter. You can view the progress on the status bar and on the Events view under Notifications.

Note:

After creating a VM, install XenServer VM Tools to ensure optimized I/O performance. For more information, see Installing XenServer VM Tools.
