Overview of installing on Citrix XenServer
Citrix XenServer is a server virtualization platform. Like other virtualization platforms, XenServer
provides the ability to run multiple virtual machines on a single hardware platform. XenServer runs on
both Windows and Linux operating systems. Refer to XenServer documentation for more details.
XenCenter is the management system for XenServer. XenCenter enables you to manage multiple
physical servers by running XenServer, in addition to all the virtual machines that are running on each
of the physical servers.
On XenServer, virtual machines are created by using virtual machine templates. For each release of its
software, Brocade provides an XenServer virtual machine template to create virtual machines that are
running the Brocade vRouter. Brocade also provides an ISO image that can be installed as a domU
(guest) on any system that is running a hypervisor.
Preparing for installation
The VM install image is the simplest way to get a vRouter up and running quickly. If the parameters of
the VM install image do not meet your requirements or additional settings are required, then the vRouter
can be installed from the ISO.
Before installing the Brocade vRouter software, prepare for the installation by performing the following
steps:
• Download the Brocade vRouter XenServer files. Refer to Downloading the Brocade vRouter files for
XenServer on page 12 for instructions on how to download the available files.
• Install XenServer on a server and install XenCenter on a management station. Refer to http://
www.citrix.com for instructions on downloading and installing Citrix products.
• Ensure that you have a minimum of 2 GB of free space on the system for a root partition. A minimum
of 4 GB of free space is recommended for a production installation.
• Ensure that you have a minimum of 2 GB of RAM on the system. A minimum of 4 GB is
recommended.
• Ensure that you have a minimum of 2 CPUs on the system. A minimum of 4 CPUs is recommended.

Downloading the Brocade vRouter files for XenServer
Before downloading the files, determine the type of installation you require. Brocade provides both ISO
and XVA files for download.
The Brocade vRouter ISO image can be installed on any of the hypervisors that Brocade supports.
This file has an .iso extension.
XVA is a format for Citrix XenServer-based hypervisors that is used for packaging a single virtual
machine. The XVA file contains both the XenServer template and disk image files. This file has an .xva
extension. The .xva file includes the Xen Server template and XenServer-specific customizations and
optimizations for the Brocade vRouter. If you are going to use the XenServer template, download
the .xva file. Otherwise, download only the .iso file.

• The Version: line displays the version number of the system that is running. Make sure that the
displayed result is the version you require.
• The System type: line displays the type of hardware on which the system is running and
whether it is in a virtual environment. Make sure that the displayed result is the version you
require.
• The Boot via: line displays the type of system that is running.
Verifying connectivity
After you confirm that the correct vRouter version is running, you must confirm that the Brocade
vRouter can be accessed on the local network. A quick-and-easy way to do this is to configure an
Ethernet interface on the system and then ping the interface from another host on the network.
NOTE
In the Brocade vRouter, a dataplane interface is an abstraction that represents the underlying physical
or virtual Ethernet interface of the systems. The terms Ethernet interface and dataplane interface are
synonymous in this guide.
To test system connectivity:
1. At the command prompt, enter the commands that are shown in the example, substituting an IP
address from your existing subnet. The example uses the following network and IP address.
• The network is 192.168.1.0/24.
• The IP address of the interface is 192.168.1.81.
Make the appropriate substitutions for your network, as shown in the following example.
vyatta@vyatta:~$ configure
vyatta@vyatta# set interfaces dataplane dp0sN address 192.168.1.81/24
vyatta@vyatta# commit
vyatta@vyatta# save
vyatta@vyatta# exit
vyatta@vyatta:~$
2. From another host on the same subnet, ping the interface to ensure that it is up. From a Linux or
Windows command prompt, enter the following command, substituting the IP address you assigned
to the interface.
ping 192.168.1.81
If the Brocade vRouter can be reached, you see replies from it in response to the pings. If so, your
system is installed and can be accessed on your network.

● Before upgrading.............................................................................................................17
● Upgrading the system by using the add system image command..................................17
● Recreating virtual machines by using the new template................................................. 18
Release-specific upgrade information
Your system may have special upgrade considerations, depending on the release. For release-specific
upgrade information, and to ensure that configuration information is correctly preserved across
upgrades, consult the release notes for your release.
Before upgrading
Perform the following tasks before upgrading your system:
• Save your existing configuration file for reference. Your configuration file is named config.boot and is
located in the /config directory.
• Ensure that you have enough space on your root partition to load the image. You can determine the
amount of space that is available by using the show system storage command.
Upgrading the system by using the add system image command
The add system image command uses a Brocade vRouter ISO file as the image source. It installs the
new image and sets the new image as the default boot image. The new image is run the next time the
system is rebooted.
To prepare for the upgrade, download the new image, determine the location of the Brocade vRouter
ISO file, and record the name of the file.
To upgrade the ISO, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the add system image command.
Use the location and name of the Brocade vRouter SO file as arguments in the command, as shown
in the following example.
2. Before you reboot, confirm that the new image is loaded and ready to run the next time the system is
rebooted. Enter the show system image command.
See the example for the command in the next sections.
3. Reboot the system by entering the reboot command. The system restarts with the new system
image.

Sample session: “add system image”
The following example shows a session in which the add system image command is used to upgrade
to the xxx.iso system image, where xxx is the file name of the ISO image you have downloaded.
The following example uses the 3.2R1 image:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ add system image /home/vyatta/xxx.iso
Checking MD5 checksums of files on the ISO image...OK.
Done!
What would you like to name this image? [3.2R1]:
OK. This image will be named: 3.2R1

Would you like to save the current configuration
directory and config file? (Yes/No) [Yes]:
Copying current configuration...
Would you like to save the SSH host keys from your
current configuration? (Yes/No) [Yes]:
Copying SSH keys...
Setting up grub configuration...
Done.
vyatta@vyatta:~$
The following example shows how to display installed images:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ show system image
The system currently has the following image(s) installed:
1: xxx (default boot)
2: yyy (running version)
Recreating virtual machines by using the new template
After you install a new upgraded image, you must create new virtual machines (VMs) and then import
your older system configurations to the current VM.
Perform the following steps to create new VMs and import older configurations:
1. Save your current system configuration (/config) to a separate location on your network.
2. Using the new Brocade vRouter XenServer template, create a new Brocade vRouter virtual
machine in your XenServer environment.
Refer to the instructions given in Installing the Brocade vRouter XenServer template on page 12
3. Perform initial configuration of the new virtual machine and test the installation to verify connectivity
on the network.
4. Shut down the old system so that it does not conflict with the new system.
5. Load the configuration that you saved onto the new Brocade vRouter virtual machine.
6. Reboot the system by using the reboot command.
The system restarts with the new configuration.

Usage Guidelines Use this command to add a binary Brocade vRouter image to the currently running system. A system
image can be added to a system that was installed by using a disk-based installation or an image-based
installation. Once added, it is set as the new default boot image and is run the next time the system is
booted.
The command validates the MD5 checksums of the files contained in the ISO image to ensure that it
has not been corrupted. In addition, it does not allow more than a single copy of an image to exist on
the same system.
The iso-filename or iso-URL argument provides the source for the ISO image file.
The following table shows how to specify the file syntax for different file locations.
Location Specification
An absolute
path
For iso-filename use standard UNIX file specification.
A relative path For iso-filename, you can also specify the path name relative to the current directory.
FTP server Use the following syntax for the iso-URL argument:
ftp://user:passwd@host/image-file
where user is the username on the host, passwd is the password associated with the username,
host is the host name or IP address of the FTP server, and image-file is the ISO image file,
including the path. Alternatively, the username and password can be specified as username and
password arguments of the add system image command.
If you do not specify user and passwd, you are prompted for them.
