Mate Lakat 8bacea0a6f XenAPI: Cleanup install instructions
* Removed plugin installation through creating a supplemental pack as the
scripts used to build the pack are no longer part of compute.
* Removed references to XCP, Kronos.
* Amend XenServer download links.
* Remove references to DevStack.
* Remove boot from iso instructions as they are not tested.
* Formatted the sources
* Update links to XenServer 6.2

<title>Modify dom0 for resize/migration support</title>
<para>To resize servers with XenServer you must:</para>

<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>).

Provide a <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 in the case of ext3-based SR (with which the
resize functionality is known to work correctly).
