Setup Share in windows

You may need to enable the Network Sharing and discovery in the network sharing center before proceeding with the following steps.

Create a new directory, right click and hit properties.

Under Sharing, hit Advanced Sharing…

Enable the Check mark for “Share this folder” and verify the share name is correct. In this example we are sharing a folder called XenServerShare

Setup Share in XenCenter

From XenCenter, hit add new Storage Repository and run through the wizard. When you get to the Share path put in \\share-ip-address\Share\Path

Example: If the IP address of the computer with the Share is 192.168.1.2 and you shared your Downloads folder, the path would be as follows

\\192.168.1.2\Downloads

Use the share computers username and password to log in to it.

On Windows you can use the CertUtil utility to verify an iso image.

First, you’ll need the checksum of the iso. Should be on the page where you downloaded the iso. More info about that here.

Next generate the hash by running the following in a command prompt. Replace the path and ISO name with the one you downloaded

certutil -hashfile Downloads\ubuntu-19.04-live-server-amd64.iso sha256

Example output

SHA256 hash of Downloads\ubuntu-19.04-live-server-amd64.iso:
25d483341ccd0d522a6660b00db933787c86c47b42f1845bcf997127f4b61e9d
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

Compare the output with the checksum. If they are the same, you should be good to go.
