Summary

In this chapter we have learned resource pool concepts and requirements. Specifically:

  • Homogeneous and heterogeneous resource pool concepts
  • Creating a resource pool using XenCenter and xe CLI
  • Removing a XenServer host from a pool
  • Preparing a XenServer host for maintenance mode
  • Designating a new pool master host
  • Licensing a XenServer host

Knowing the commands and operations for managing the pool master and resource pool is the first step to successfully managing virtualization infrastructure based on Citrix XenServer.

In the next chapter we will discuss how to manage user authentication.
