5.7.2 VLAN Configuration for XenServer Host Management Interfaces
Switch ports were configured to perform 802.1Q VLAN tagging/un-tagging, commonly referred to as ports with a
native VLAN (or as access mode) ports. These are the only port types supported for use with XenServer
management interface/s for management traffic on a desired VLAN. In this case the XenServer host is unaware of
any VLAN configuration.
Network Policy configured for VLAN 164 on eth0 specified as the management Interface during XenServer
installation.
Note: XenServer management interfaces cannot be assigned to a XenServer VLAN through a trunk port.
5.8 OS Installation
The standard default installation of XenServer 5.6 was used and the additional QLogic Driver pack (CTX125877)
loaded as part of the installation. The Cisco UCS Manager KVM was used to install the XenServer Hosts.
Prior to starting the Server the two required media (.iso‘s) were mounted to the KVM Virtual Media from the
engineers PC with the XenServer Installation media initially mapped.
