XenServer support

The ISAM appliance can be installed on a XenServer hypervisor (version 6.2 and later).

The ISAM appliance for XenServer is distributed as a pre-installed disk image of the appliance in Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) format. The disk has a fixed size of 100 GB. It is recommended to enable off-the-box logging and auditing to ensure the disk is not consumed with log files. We can also use the standard installation ISO images to install the virtual appliance on XenServer. To deploy the VHD appliance image to XenServer, we can use either of the following methods:

• The XenCenter console
• XenAPI or xe command line

To install the virtual appliance from the .iso image, use the XenCentre console.

• Install the virtual appliance using the VHD image
  Import the VHD image to XenServer with XenCenter to install the virtual appliance.
• Install the virtual appliance using the ISO image
  Use the provided ISO image to install the virtual appliance with XenCenter.
• Install the virtual appliance by using XenAPI or xe command line
  The virtual appliance can be installed using the XenAPI or xe command line.
