You can enable repo(For Xenserver 6.5 only) with following command from "CLI":

Partition Scheme

XenServer does not allow you to change the partition scheme much. When XenServer is installed it will be installed with 4GB space for the OS and the remaining will be assigned to a LVM Volume Group. Virtualizor will use the Volume Group for the VMs being created. You will land up with the following Partition scheme in XenServer :

Partition	Size	Description
/	4 GB	Root partition containing all Hardware Node operating system files
SWAP	512MB +	Paging partition for the Linux operating system
LVG (Volume Group)	All the remaining space on the hard disk	This partition will be used to create Logical Volumes that will act as the VPS (DomUs) storage. NOTE : You must NOT create any Logical Volume and MOUNT it. This must be an EMPTY VOLUME GROUP. Virtualizor will not delete any pre-existing LVs in the Volume Group. But its recommended to have an empty Volume Group.

Installation

Open a Shell Terminal (e.g. PuTTY) and SSH to your server. Run the following commands:

wget -N http://files.virtualizor.com/install.sh
