Installation of Sophos XG on Citrix Xenserver including XenServer Tools

Kurt Bohuslav

Hello,

I am using UTM on a Citrix Xenserver since years for home use and currently testing Sophos XG. UTM included a older version of XenServer Tools but that's OK!

Now I have the following problem/question: What is the recommended way to install XG on Xenserver?

I have tried the software installer (Intel Hardware) and virtual installer for Citrix XenApp (Why is it called XenApp??? XenApp is application virtualization "part" of XenDesktop and has nothing to do with a hypervisor!?)

However, the software installer seems to dedect the XenServer Hardware, but it seems not to insatll XenServer Tools. The virtual installer for XenServer seems to be exported from some VMware host, because the package contains VMDK instead of VHD disk images and the OVF descriptor file contains lots of VMware stuff (e.g. <rasd:ResourceSubType>vmware.usb.ehci</rasd:ResourceSubType>). The important thing is that importing the OVF in XenServer does not include XenServer Tools.

 

Is there a way to install Sophos XG including Tools?

 

Thank you very much in advance! :-)

Best regards,

Kurt

    I only have esxi so I have not test it, but it may be a way. You can treat XG Firewall like Linux with kernel 3.x.

    you can try to follow

    (Use SSH/Telnet/Web Console->5.Device manage ->3. Advanced Shell to get the root shell.)

    It not the official way so it may void your warranty/support and cause problems, make a snapshot before you apply it.
