  1. Budget at least 4 machines to your set-up. Install XenServer (6+) on one machine to host Provisioner QACloud VM and management server. This machine is required to have internet access.
  2. Set-up and configure IPMI network and enable hosts for IPMI. This link may be useful http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/dept/cron/documentation/dell-server-admin/en/DRAC_5/racugc1j.htm
  3. Set-up private switch for hosts on eth0. Reference config is available here
  4. Import QACloud template by downloading from here
  5. Change MAC address in Cobbler (cobbler system edit --mac-address=<MAC> --name=xen1/2/3 ), DNSMASQ (/etc/dnsmasq.conf) and system.properties file
  6. Set IPMI password in configure script
  7. Set-up public internet access for QACloud VM so it may proxy requests as needed. This may involve setting up correct ip routes. (Be careful here, as incorrect configs for routes / DNS will manifest in weird network boot issues)
Advanced Options
  1.  If the switch config does not  mimic provided reference, please change the IP address for DNSMASQ and system.properties file
  2. Set correct routes for IP configuration in QACloud and its host XenServer
