(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=Support Manual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18964&prodSeriesId=380 1993)
•HP integrated Citrix XenServer license file for Advanced Edition and HP integrated Citrix XenServer license file for Enterprise Edition (Redeemed using the entitlement certificate)

•At least one HP ProLiant server capable of supporting Intel® Virtualization Technology or AMD® Virtualization
•A management console running Microsoft® Windows® to run the XenCenter management GUI
•HP XenDesktop software purchased and downloaded from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/XenDesktop-downloads).
HP integrated Citrix XenServer ProLiant Virtual Console is a single-server management interface for XenServer.
Citrix XenCenter Management Console enables you to create resource pools, perform a XenMotion live migration, and optimize multi-server management if you have the proper license where HP ProLiant Virtual Console is optimized for single-server management only, which does not allow configuring of resource pools or performing live migrations. XenCenter can manage only one HP integrated Citrix XenServer Select Edition at a time.
