First stab at administrating, and provisioning VMs’ with CloudStack4.2 with XenServer6.2 via Xen-In-Xen

Provisioning VMs’with CloudStack web based console UI is one of the most intuitive I have used. Let’s assume the CloudStack4.2 is installed, configured, up, and running; XenServer hypervisor has loads of resources waiting to be deployed. If not, check out this guide.

The following steps describe the one-off effort on setting up a CloudStack resource pool for provisioning VMs’. After login via CloudStack console page, proceed by clicking on “continue with basic installation”. It is good to familiarize with the terminology associated with resource pool of CloudStack such as Zone > Pod > Cluster > Host.

Click on launch, and the following resource dashboard will be displayed.

By default, two user VM instances will be created on your behalf by CloudStack.
