Add a Citrix XenServer Connection to the Manager

You can add a Citrix XenServer connection using the Administration tab of the CA Server Automation user interface.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

    The Configuration page appears.

  2. Select Citrix XenServer from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
  3. Click add (Add) on the Registered Citrix XenServers pane toolbar.

    The Add Citrix XenServer dialog appears.

  4. Enter the required connection data (server name, username, password, resource pool UUID), specify the preferred AIM, and enable Managed Status (checkbox).

    Important! Verify that you add the pool master to the Registered Citrix XenServers.

  5. Click OK.

    If the network connection has been established successfully, the Server is added to the top right pane with a green status icon. CA Server Automation discovers the Citrix XenServer system automatically.

    If the connection fails, the Validation Failed dialog appears. If you click Yes, CA Server Automation adds the Server to the list with a red status icon indicating a connection failure. If you click No, nothing is added.
