Hardware Installation
Overview
The HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer™ Platform
(J9747A) has XenServer pre-installed at the factory, and is ready for module
installation in an HP E5400 zl or E8200 zl Series switch.
The module automatically boots XenServer when installed in an HP E5400 zl
or E8200 zl Series switch. You access the XenServer xsconsole management
interface and the shell interface directly through the switch CLI. HP recom-
mends that you install XenCenter, (installation files included on the module)
to manage the XenServer host, just as you would with any XenServer host
running on a server.
The pre-installed XenServer host runs as XenServer (free) for 30 days. After
30 days, you need to activate XenServer to continue to using the free Xen-
Server product, or you must configure Citrix Licensing to use XenServer
Advanced editions. For more information on the XenServer editions, features,
and licensing, go to www.com/xenserver.
Table 1-1 lists the tasks that you will perform to get your module up and
running.
Important HP zl switch software version K.15.05 or later is required. For more informa-
tion, see Appendix D.
