While the deployment of virtual machines (VMs) within the high-performance computing (HPC) community is proceeding at a great pace, tools for system management of VMs are still lagging behind those available for physical machines. In order to make further progress, VM management must be fully integrated with existing fabric management infrastructure. We present the results of work done to integrate Xen [4] with the Quattor [15] fabric management suite. The principal contributions are the development of a network bootloader for para-virtualised Xen VMs and a Quattor management component for setting up hosted VMs. The combination of these tools allows for full unattended installation of Xen VMs and the automatic configuration of services, all from a single configuration database.
