XenServer client problems

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

XenServer only provide a client as a .RPM or even worse a .MSI ! So if you’e running ed/x/ubuntu you’ll need to install and run alien to convert the .RPM to .DEB and then run

# dpkg -i xe-cli_5.0.0-13193_i386.deb.

When you try and run # xe you may then get the error

Please install the stunnel package or define the XE_STUNNEL environment variable to point to the binary.

Time to install a CentOS VM to run XE i guess !
