Quick deploy a new nested XCP-host for testing?
-
Is there a single command line this in order to setup a new ready-to-go XCP server for test?
bash -c "$(curl -s http://xoa.io/deploy")

I don't understand what you mean? Deploy Xen Orchestra?

This command to deploy XOA it's just simple and amazing at the same time.
I was asking if is there something like this in order to deploy a nested virtualizad XCP-ng server (for test) under another cluster. I would like to setup a 2-3 nodes in order to create a sub-cluster and start testing CEPH performances and new connectors types.

Oh okay. Well, there is multiple options:
- automated install with answer files, you can even combine it with PXE (some doc here)
- modified ISO to use also answer files / pre-fill setup
- VM templates (but before XAPI init to avoid UUID conflicts)
- parallel manual installs (multiple tabs in XO
)
Solution 1. is the best and the fastest!

Solution 1 seems very good.
But I just know what is PXE and never used in my life.
Any good reference to start from? -
- You can boot a VM on PXE by selecting the right boot order (enabling "Network" in boot order in XO for example)
- Then you need to setup a PXE server, you can fine various guides by googling "PXE server setup", eg this one)
