58. Can you use Citrix XenServer with a HP OEM license for Windows Server?
Yes. You can use Citrix XenServer with an HP OEM license according to the Citrix documentation, pages 11–12:
Installing a VM from Reseller Option Kit (BIOS-locked) media
To allow installation of Reseller Option Kit (BIOS-locked) OEM versions of Windows, onto a VM running on a
XenServer host, the BIOS strings of the VM will need to be copied from the host with which the ROK media was
supplied. In order to install the BIOS-locked media that came with your host, you will need to follow the
steps below:
Installing a BIOS-locked VM
1. Run the vm-install copy-bios-strings-from command and specify the host-uuid as the host from which the
strings should be copied (i.e. the host that the media was supplied with):
xe vm-install copy-bios-strings-from=<host uuid> \
template=<template name> sr-name-label=<name of sr> \
new-name-label=<name for new VM>
This returns the UUID of the newly created VM. For example:
xe vm-install copy-bios-strings-from=46dd2d13-5aee-40b8-ae2c-95786ef4 \
template="CentOS 5.3" sr-name-label=Local\ storage \
new-name-label=newcentos
7cd98710-bf56-2045-48b7-e4ae219799db
2. If the relevant BIOS strings from the host have been successfully copied into the VM, the command “This
vm-is-BIOS-customized” will confirm this:
xe vm-is-bios-customized uuid=<VM uuid>
For example:
xe vm-is-bios-customized \
uuid=7cd98710-bf56-2045-48b7-e4ae219799db
This VM is BIOS-customized.
Note: When you start the VM, it will be started on the physical host from which you copied the BIOS strings.
A VM can be:
• BIOS-generic: the VM has generic XenServer BIOS strings;
• BIOS-customized: the VM has a copy of the BIOS strings of a particular host in the pool;
• Without BIOS strings: immediately after its creation.
Warning: It is your responsibility to comply with any EULAs governing the use of any BIOS-locked operating
systems that you install.
