Set Linux vm in XenServer to start from the optical drive

 

After the windows vm in xenserver is installed, it can be started from the optical drive through xencenter settings, while the linux vm does not have such an option. You can solve this problem through the following command line:

 

Xe vm-param-set uuid = 546f896a-ebe6-8071-2c31-b9214dc1d1b5 HVM-boot-policy = BIOS \ order

Xe vm-param-set uuid = 546f896a-ebe6-8071-2c31-b9214dc1d1b5 HVM-boot-params: order = "dc"

The uuid is the uuid of the vm. d In order indicates the optical drive, and c indicates that the hard drive is started. In this way, the startup sequence can be set through the VM attribute in xencenter.
