XenServer Tools provide high-speed I/O for enhanced disk and network performance. XenServer Tools must
be installed on each VM in order for the VM to have a fully-supported configuration. A VM will function
without them, but performance will be significantly hampered. XenServer Tools also enable certain functions
and features, including cleanly shutting down, rebooting, suspending and live migrating VMs.
Warning:
You must install XenServer Tools for each Windows VM. Running Windows VMs without
XenServer Tools is not supported.
To install XenServer Tools:
a. On the Resources pane, select the XenServer host and then the Search tab.
The XenServer Tools not installed blue status text appears next to the new VM.
