<h3>Updates</h3>
Put the server into Maintenance Mode. Download the updates suggested from the XenCenter on a client machine. Use SCP to copy the downloaded update file to a location you can find on the XenCenter server or on Windows use an SCP program like [http://www.putty.org/ Bitvise WinSSHD] . Then SSH from a client computer into the XenServer. Run For each of the following commands use the user 'root' and the password you setup during the installation of your XenServer. Start by running the following at the command prompt:

If everything looks good then run this command to restart server:
Switch to console on the newly created VM and install Amahi 7.1 as you would like.
One suggested change from the default Amahi install is to <b>make is the boot partition ext3Ext3</b>. While partitioning the hard drive, choose Ext3 rather than Ext4, because ’pygrub’, the XenServer bootloader for the PV mode, can’t read Ext4. If you wish to benefit from Ext4 advantages anyway, then you’ll have to create a /boot partition in Ext3 and the / partition in Ext4. Finish the Amahi install as per regular instructions. At this point (ensure you will have a running Amahi 7.1 HDA on XenServer. For more options your code and better performance, that you might consider adding the next part to your installlet it reboot twice before initializing in browser).
NoteIf you are happy with a simple setup and not too concerned about performance then you could stop here and skip to the part about installing Xen-Tools below. The guest VM with Amahi installed on it is in HVM mode or hardware assisted virtualization (more information [http: if //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen here]). If you are having trouble reaching would like your apps from the dashboardguest VM to run in paravirtualization mode, which will give better performance and access to more than three drives, you may wish need to run this command: yum -y update opensslcomplete the next part.
<h3>Install XenServer Tools for linux</h3>First Use XenCenter Management console to insert the xs-tools.iso in the DVD drive. Then SSH into the Amahi VM (the console will not work until these tools are installed);, and execute these commands:
# mkdir /mnt/xs-tools
# bash /mnt/xs-tools/Linux/install.sh
# reboot

Note: if you are having trouble reaching your apps from the dashboard, you may need to run this command on the HDA:

# yum -y update openssl
