[xen-tools-discuss] Regarding installation of xen-tools on XenServer

Hello Experts,

I have a query regarding the installation part of xen-tools so that I can successfully use the command xen-create-image to create a VM.
I followed exactly all the steps to install the xen-tools in the XenServer and tried to use the command xen-create-image but ended up with these errors:

xen-create-image
Couldn't find a useful entry in the sources.list files of the Dom0. Tried:
  /etc/apt/sources.list
Couldn't find a useful entry in the sources.list files of the Dom0. Tried:
  /etc/apt/sources.list
Failed to read /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp: No such file or directory[root at mcp-xen-3 etc]#

Let me know if I am doing the right way by having xen-tools installed on XenServer console using XenCenter so that it can create VMs on that xenServer.
Or do I have to install xen-tools outside the XenServer in my local machine and then it should be able to create VM's on the XenServer if I somehow specify the XenServer ip?
Or are these steps of installation done after I have one VM installed on the XenServer using XenCenter and then try to create other VM's using that VM?
I appreciate for any kind of suggestions/solutions relevant to my query.

Thanks,
Kartik
