XOA

The fastest way to install Xen Orchestra is to use our Appliance. You can download it from here (fill the form and click on "Try Now"). Basically, it's a Debian VM with all the stuff needed to run Xen Orchestra, no more, no less.

Specifications

By default, this VM is configured with:

2 vCPUs
2GB or RAM
8GB of disk

For usage on huge infrastructure (more than 500+ VMs), feel free to raise the RAM.

Deployment

Once you've got the XVA file, you can import it with xe vm-import filename=xoa_version_number.xva or via XenCenter.

After the VM is imported, you just need to start it with a xe vm-start vm=XOA or with XenCenter.

XOA is in DHCP by default, so if you need to configure the IP, you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces as explained in the Debian documentation. You can access the VM console through XenCenter or using VNC through a SSH tunnel.

Xen Orchestra is now accessible in your browser on http://your-vm-ip or in HTTPS on the same URL.

If you are using a static IP configuration, take care of the /etc/resolv.conf file to fit your DNS settings.

Downloading with wget

If you want to download your XOA with wget, you need to provide your cookie generated on https://xen-orchestra.com. See this documentation for further details.

Default admin account

Default user is admin@admin.net with admin as a password.

SECURITY NOTICE: create a new admin account and remove this one.

In any case, if you lose your password, you can reset the database and get the default credentials back.

SSH credentials

By default, system/SSH user and password are root/xoa. Be smart and change the root password as soon as possible!

Restart the service

You can restart Xen Orchestra by going in XOA on SSH (or console) and type systemctl restart xo-server.service.

To check the status of xo-server, use systemctl status xo-server.service, it should display something like that:

xo-server.service - XO Server
