Summary

In the example described above, the following activities were performed:

A XenServer host was configured with high-resiliency network bonds for a dedicated SAN and a
LAN.

An HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN was configured as a cluster of two storage nodes.

A virtualized 10GB iSCSI volume, XPSP2-01, was configured with Network RAID and allocated to
the host.

A XenServer SR, XPSP2-01, was created on the iSCSI volume.

A VM, XPSP2-01, with Windows XP SP2 installed, was created on a 9GB virtual disk on the SR.

Figure 24 outlines this configuration, which can be managed as follows:

The XenCenter management console is installed on a Windows client that can access the LAN.

The VM’s local console is displayed with the running VM. Utilizing the resources of the XenServer
host, the local console screen is transmitted to XenCenter for remote viewing.
