Change boot order for Linux VM in XenServer

Hi Citrix Friends

There’re some nice templates for Linux VMs within XenServer.
But if you want to boot from an ISO after the installation, you’ll have a little surprise: there is no option to change the boot order:

XS-LX-Boot1

This little command helps you

xe vm-param-set HVM-boot-policy="BIOS order" uuid=[uuid of your vm]

After this, all is shown as usual:

XS-LX-Boot2

from XenServer 6.2.x (not tested before)
