Server - ka Citrix Xen^{(Citrix Xen Server)} waa adeeg ganacsi oo bilaash ah oo heerkiisu sarreeyo oo si toos ah ula tartamaya VMware ESXi . Labaduba waa bilaash, runtiina aad bay u adag tahay in la sheego mid ka wanaagsan.

Dadka qaarkiis waxay ku dhaartaan VMware sababtoo ah waayo-aragnimada dheer ee tignoolajiyada wax-ku-oolka ah halka kuwa kalena ay sheegaan in Citrix uu leeyahay wax soo saar wanaagsan. Runtii ma hubo, laakiin qoraalkan waxaan kaga hadli doonaa hal sifo oo sheyga VMware uu si aad u wanaagsan u sameeyo: u beddelashada server-ka muuqaalka ah ee server-ka.

Waa wax aad u fudud waxa ugu fudud adduunka in la farsameeyo server-ka jirka iyadoo la adeegsanayo VMware , laakiin xoogaa ka sii badan oo ku lug leh isticmaalka Citrix Xen . Dhab ahaantii, ma aha hawl adag, ma fududa in la helo sabab la yaab leh, marka loo eego qalabka VMware .

Fiiro gaar ah: Waxaa jira laba qalab oo loogu talagalay beddelka jireed ee farsamada (P2V) markaad la shaqeyneyso Xen, midkood Linux ilaa Xen ama Windows ilaa Xen.^{(Note: There are two tools for physical to virtual conversion (P2V) when working with Xen, either Linux to Xen or Windows to Xen.)}

U raro Server-ka Windows^{(Move Windows Server)} una wareeji XenServer Host

Si aad u soo dejiso mashiinka Windows , waxaad u baahan doontaa qalabka XenConvert , kaas oo ku yimaada dhadhan 32-bit iyo 64-bit ah. Waxaad isticmaali kartaa qalabkan si aad u sameyso nooca soo socda ee beddelka:

Convert a single VHD or an entire virtual machine to a XVA or XenServer (VHD to XVA)

Markaa halkeed ka heshaa qalabka XenConvert ? Hagaag, maahan meesha ugu muuqata ee dadku yaqaan. Si aad u soo dejiso, waa inaad gasho MyCitrix ka dibna dhagsii Downloads oo ugu dambeyntii guji XenServer 5.

Markaad gujiso XenServer 5, waxaad arki doontaa isku xirka qaybta Kheyraadka Caawinta^{(Helpful Resources)} ilaa XenConvert ee 32-bit iyo 64-bit. Nooc^(Kind) xanuun ah oo aan run ahaantii hubin sababta aysan ugu haysan goobta ugu weyn maadaama ay tahay soo dejin bilaash ah!

U raro Linux Server-ka XenServer Host

Si aad u P2V a Linux server-ka ah XenServer martida loo yahay, waxaad u baahan tahay in aad dib u bilowdo mishiinka aad rabto in aad u beddelo oo ka boot ka XenServer Installation CD .

Marka aad aragto shaashadda ku soo dhawoow^(Welcome) XenServer, dooro OK, rakibaha ayaa sameyn doona xoogaa ogaansho hardware ah, iwm. Intaa ka dib, waxaad heli doontaa afar doorasho oo mid ka mid ah uu yahay.

Convert an existing OS on this machine to a VM (P2V)

Waana taas! Raac dardaarannada inteeda kale oo seerfarku waa la beddeli doonaa. Kadib marka ay dhammaato, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad ku xidho VIF si aad u hesho isku xidhka shabakada dibadda.

Haddii aad qabto arrimo u beddelashada mid ka mid ah server Windows ama Linux ah ^(Linux)XenServer , post a comment oo waxaan isku dayi doonaa in aan caawiyo! Ku raaxayso!

How to Convert a Physical Server to a Citrix Xen Virtual Server (P2V)

Update Oct 2017: Citrix no longer provides the XenConvert tool as a download and doesn’t support it anymore. Your only options now to convert a physical machine to XenServer is to first get it into VHD format (using a tool like Disk2VHD) and then import it in. If you are wanting to convert a VMware virtual machine to XenServer, then you can try to use the XenServer Conversion Manager feature. 

The Citrix Xen Server is a free enterprise-class server virtualization solution that is a direct competitor to VMware ESXi. Both are free and it’s actually quite hard to tell which one is better.

Some people swear by VMware because of longer experience with virtualization technology while others say that Citrix has a better product. I’m not really sure, but in this post I’m going to talk about one feature that the VMware product does very well: converting a physical server into virtual server.

It’s pretty much the easiest thing in the world to virtualize a physical server using VMware, but a bit more involved using Citrix Xen. Actually, it’s not a difficult process, it’s just not as easy to find for some strange reason, than the tool for VMware.

Note: There are two tools for physical to virtual conversion (P2V) when working with Xen, either Linux to Xen or Windows to Xen.

Move Windows Server to XenServer Host

To import a Windows machine, you will need the XenConvert tool, which comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. You can use this tool to perform the following type of conversion:

Convert a single VHD or an entire virtual machine to a XVA or XenServer (VHD to XVA)

So where do you find the XenConvert tool? Well, it’s not exactly in the most conspicuous place known to man. In order to download it, you have to log into MyCitrix and then click on Downloads and finally click on XenServer 5.

When you click on XenServer 5, you will see a link in the Helpful Resources section to XenConvert for 32-bit and 64-bit. Kind of a pain and not really sure why they don’t have it on the main site since it’s a free download!

Move Linux Server to XenServer Host

In order to P2V a Linux server to a XenServer host, you need to reboot the machine you want to convert and boot from the XenServer Installation CD.

When you see the Welcome to XenServer screen, select OK and the installer will do some hardware detection, etc. After that, you will get four choices, one of them being

Convert an existing OS on this machine to a VM (P2V)

And that’s it! Follow the rest of the prompts and the server will be virtualized. After it is complete, you will need to attach a VIF in order to have external network connectivity.

If you are having issues converting either a Windows or Linux server to XenServer, post a comment and I’ll try to help out! Enjoy!
