<div dir="ltr">the host gets specified in xen center, you connect to that host and then you create the vm there. What is interesting you can create a pool of servers and xen server will bring up the vm's on what ever server in that pool has the resources to run it<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure if or how you would install xen tools on xen server to be honest. But I think you are complicating life. It has been a while since i used xen server and xen center, but there has to be a way you can set a static ip on a vm.<u></u><u></u></p>
