Solved Installing XenServer 7 on Lenovo TS140
-
Also, I didn't find any Mobile App for XS7 alike "Watchlist" for VMWare, I will assume, there is no such app.
-
Now it's turn to setup backup with Xen Orchestra (open source).
I will refer this thread https://mangolassi.it/topic/7349/xen-orchestra-on-ubuntu-15-10-complete-installation-instructions for that.

@Danp I have reviewed once you post it here.
And I understand it's giving very limited space.That's fine, I managed it.
Also, how about spinning one FreeNAS VM on XS7 itself and pointing SR to FreeNAS share ;)?
Why use FreeNAS, why not just any number of Linux distros?

For a really "no thought process" like the pinch you were in the other day where you needed storage space freenas may fit well enough.
I agree, don't use it for production (long term) but as a simple "no thought" required "give me storage" it works and is simple.
In a pinch where you're short on time / resources it fits.

As for using it as a backup repo for XS, you wouldn't backup any other server to it's self.
Get a separate XS host and create a linux server on it which has the storage space you need. Or a reasonable NAS.
It's not a good idea to backup to the same target you are running your live systems on.
