Create XenServer USB Install

install_xenserver_usb.md

Installing XenServer 6.2.0 from a USB Stick

• Download the XenServer 6.2.0 ISO image

• Format a USB stick using FAT32.

• Use unetbootin to install the ISO to the USB stick. Use the “DiskImage” option instead of the “Distribution” one, and point it right to the ISO file.

• Now we need to fix up some boot stuff (All paths are relative to the root of the USB drive)

  • mv boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg boot/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
  • mv boot/isolinux boot/syslinux
  • mv syslinux.cfg syslinux.cfg.bak

• Unmount the USB drive and eject it.

• Boot from the USB stick.

On 6.5 I get an error about missing config

Just use Rufus:

No need to monkey with SYSLINUX.

Thanks VinceVal!

With Rufus it worked. But with the other approach it didn't even get to the bootloader.

PERFECT!!! very very thanks.

And I also confirm that this strategy works with XenServer version 7.0.0.

Etcher (https://etcher.io) Is great and did the trick for me with a troublesome server.

with YUMI I've tried to create a multiboot usb key, but xenserver 7 doesn't install, I've error:

Failed to load COM32 file mboot.c32

With YUMI 2.0.4.6, unlisted ISO (GRUP Partition 4) works.
XenServer 7.0.0

already reinstalling server using rufus v2.18.1213 in my KVM windows 7 machine.

the others alternatives does not work in my case.

@VinceVal, thanks for your help. The Rufus solution has been worked for me!!!

Thanks, this helped me create bootdisk for XenServer 7.2
