Creating a VM on XenServer
-
Brand new to XenServer. I created a CentOS minimal VM and everything seems to be OK until its time to switch to the graphical setup wizard. Then the screen goes black and I cant continue. Deleted and recreated the VM with the same issue. Any idea?
-
I've noticed this as well, I don't know the cause, but using Xen Orchestra console tab for the VM brings up the GUI of the VM.

Are you using XenCenter? This has come up a bit and appears to be a XenCenter issue, not a XenServer one. Switch to Xen Orchestra (generally recommended anyway) and it should solve the problem.
Also, I have this problem on other platforms too and I just skip the graphical installer and it solves that and other problems for me as well.

Did I do this correctly? It installed as a VM. -

Looks right to me. It's up and running with a login prompt ready to go

Looks correct, but you're using XOA, and not the source build.
Other than that it looks correct.

Finally found the default login. Thanks

Didnt realize I had to login to the XO VM and get the IP, and then web browse to that IP to connect

You could alternatively look at your DHCP logs.

That seems painful in comparison, to just logging in to the VM to find the IP, and then log out.

Out of curiosity @alex-olynyk does that XOA have the xen-tools installed by default?
Click on General and take a screen-shot for me.

It does, that's good to know.
It should as well, but I've never tried the appliance. I've only built it from the source.
