XenServer support

The IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance can be installed on a XenServer hypervisor, Version 6.5.

When the virtual appliance is installed on XenServer, it runs in paravirtualized (PV) mode rather than hardware assisted virtualization (HVM) mode.

The IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance for XenServer is distributed as a pre-installed disk image of the appliance in Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) format. Standard installation ISO images cannot be used due to some restrictions with XenServer.

To deploy the VHD appliance image to XenServer, use the XenCenter console.

• Install the virtual appliance by using XenCenter
  Import the VHD image to XenServer with XenCenter to install the virtual appliance.
