3.1. Installing a VM Server

A VM Server is machine that can house virtual frontend appliances. It is required to build a VM Server if you wish to build virtual clusters.

Building a VM Server is just like building a traditional frontend, except that you must supply the Xen Roll during the frontend installation. Follow the procedure Install and Configure Your Frontend and be sure to supply the Xen Roll.

After you build the VM Server, you'll need to install VM Containers (see the next section).
