<title>Modify Dom0 for resize/migration support</title>
<para>To resize servers with XenServer and XCP, you must:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Establish a root trust between all hypervisor nodes
of your deployment:</para>
<para>To do so, generate an ssh key-pair with the
<command>ssh-keygen</command> command. Ensure that
each of your dom0's
<filename>authorized_keys</filename> file (located
in <filename>/root/.ssh/authorized_keys</filename>)
contains the public key fingerprint (located in
<filename>/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</filename>).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Provide an <filename>/images</filename> mount point
to the dom0 for your hypervisor:</para>
<para>Dom0 space is at a premium so creating a directory
in dom0 is potentially dangerous and likely to fail
especially when you resize large servers. The least
you can do is to symlink <filename>/images</filename>
to your local storage SR. The following instructions
work for an English-based installation of XenServer
(and XCP) and in the case of ext3-based SR (with which
the resize functionality is known to work
correctly).</para>
