Thanks for your reply. So it sounds like I just need to do a standard XenServer install and not have to configure anything specific for CS - is that correct?
In your response to question 3 - "if your going with NFS this isnt necessary, adding it via the GUI/API as a shared nfs storage should do the trick." - by GUI do you mean the CS GUI and where do you add the storage? In what situation would I need to set up a storage repository on the Xenserver?
