[7.405] How do I install XenServer Tools?

Hi guys,

I've recently moved my Astaro from a VMWare 2 box to a XenServer 5 box. I want to install the VMM tools, however following the instructions on the Xen site I get;

Fatal Error: Failed to determine Linux distribution and version.

Has anybody managed to do this yet and if so how?

Thanks,

Tanoas

  • I've never used Xenserver, but if it's like VMWare Tools, you'll need items installed on the server that you can't install under Astaro, since it is a hardened OS.  Best bet is to run it under VMWare Server, since that's what it's certified for (and the VMWare tools are preloaded).
