Here is the task that would be completed in order to implement a XenMobile 10 Cluster.
For this example, running on my lab, I am using XenServer 6.5 SP1 as hypervisor and SQL 2014 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 as DB server.
After the virtual appliance has been imported, power it on.
Logon with default username which is admin.
You will be prompted to change the password during the initial configuration.
Enter the following network information for the virtual appliance:
- IP Address
- Subnet Mask
- Gateway
- Primary DNS
- Secondary DNS (optional)
Confirm the settings to continue
Type Y and press Enter
Here I will chose N and press Enter
For the Database connection, remote is required in order to complete the cluster installation.
I am using a remote SQL Server on my lab so, enter mi and press Enter.
Enter the following information to connect to the remote SQL Server:
- SSL Use
- Server
- Port
- Username
- Password
- Database Name
Type Y and press Enter to commit settings
Note: XenMobile 10 has to create the database so the credentials to connect to remote SQL Server need dbcreator role according to the product documentation
For Cluster, type Y
Provide the Xenmobile Server FQDN (external name)
Type Y and Enter to commit the settings.
Change if required the default communication ports or let it like proposed and type Y and press Enter to commit the settings.

Use the default username or enter a new one, enter twice a password, type Y and press Enter to commit the settings
For Upgrade, type N and press Enter
Wait for the configuration app and main app to restart
Shutdown the XenMobile virtual appliance in the Main Menu, go to System Menu, and choose Shutdown Server option.
Once the XenMobile virtual Appliance is shutdown, make a copy or a clone.
When the copy or clone process is completed, power on the “new” virtual appliance.
Log on the Appliance
Type 0 and press Enter to go in the Configuration Menu
Type 1 and press Enter to go in the Network Menu
Type Y and press Enter to proceed
Change the IP address, type Y and press Enter to reboot
When the restart process is finished launch and web browser and point to https://XMS_IP_address:8443.
Note: The IP address can be either of the cluster members.
