Been a while since we created a doc on an install so we thought we would update how to install a XenServer 7.1 LTSR.
From ISO
After the XenServer install we wanted to join the pool but received this error due to we have HP snmp installed on the other hosts in the pool.
How to install the HP Agent
This was a bit tricky but since this is an upgrade from 6.5 to 7.1 I had to obtain the one for our version
I initially tried this install

The first item was I used WinSCP to upload the folder to the host to the home drive
Then I ran these series of commands to install
cd /home
mkdir /mnt/iso
mount -ro loop hp-agents-10.50-2.XS7.iso /mnt/iso/
cd /mnt/iso/
./install.sh
The install went without issue
