Installing Windows
To install windows, you'll need an iso. These can be served by an NFS server. Try this:
xe-mount-iso-sr nfs-server:/path/to/isos
Then create a windows VM:
xe vm-install template=Windows\ 7\ \(32-bit\) new-name-label=windows xe vm-cd-add vm=windows cd-name=win7.iso device=3 xe vm-start vm=windows
To get networking working, you'll need to set up the bridge manually:
brctl addbr xenbr0 brctl addif xenbr0 eth0
You may need to move the IP address to the bridge rather than the physical interface. Having done this, try a pif-scan:
xe pif-scan
This might create the network for your interface.
PV drivers for Windows
wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/debian/xs-tools-5.9.960.iso mv xs-tools-5.9.960.iso /usr/lib/xen-common/xapi/packages/iso
After doing this, rescan the SR to pick up the new ISO.
