My Colleague at work asked me to create a bootable CD of XenServer 6.2. So I thought I’d quickly throw together a tutorial on how to do this.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Download the ISO from Xen website http:\/\/xenserver.org\/open-source-virtualization-download.html<\/p>\n

In my case I’m using the 6.2 version release. but this process is good for burning any bootable ISO<\/p>\n

\r\nwget http:\/\/downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net\/8159\/XenServer-6.2.0-install-cd.iso\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 2. Convert from iso to a dmg\/img<\/p>\n
\r\nhdiutil convert -format UDRW -o xenserver6.2.img XenServer-6.2.0-install-cd.iso\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3. Locate USB device in my case it was \/dev\/disk2. My colleague was using xen 6.5 previously.<\/p>\n
\r\ndiskutil list\r\n\r\n$ diskutil list\r\n\/dev\/disk1\r\n   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER\r\n   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *14.4 MB    disk1\r\n   1:                  Apple_HFS MenuMeters 1.8.1        14.4 MB    disk1s1\r\n\/dev\/disk2\r\n   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER\r\n   0:                            XenServer-6.5.0        *62.0 GB    disk2\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 4. unmount the USB disk <\/p>\n
\r\ndiskutil unmountDisk \/dev\/disk2\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 5. Create the USB image <\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo dd if=xenserver6.2.img.dmg of=\/dev\/disk2 bs=1m\r\n\r\n563+1 records in\r\n563+1 records out\r\n590448640 bytes transferred in 186.928304 secs (3158690 bytes\/sec)\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 6. Eject USB device safely<\/p>\n
\r\ndiskutil eject \/dev\/disk2\r\n<\/pre>\n
Job done! You should now have a working bootable USB disk ISO for xen server 6.2 ready to install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
