Tnx for suggestion/answer Kirk. I'll go and create Ubuntu 12.04 LTS PV
VHD using VirtualBox on my desktop machine.
So when i have a working Ubuntu 12.04 LTS PV image/VHD for XS 6.0.2 i
have to import it into CS 4.1.1 with XS 6.0.2.
Which option should i select then for "OS Type" when "registering template".
Other PV 64bit? If I choose Ubuntu 12.04 i'm sure i'll get the same
error as before:
[xen.resource.CitrixHelper] (DirectAgent-92:) XenServer 6.0.2 DOES NOT
support Guest OS type Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit)
Regards,
F.

The problem is that installing Ubuntu (any version) from ISO is not
supported by XenServer. Using the "Other" (not "Other PV") OS Type will
allow it, but the result is an HVM mode VM which has disadvantages (poor
performance, no XS Tools, no live migration). The supported way to
install Ubuntu on XenServer is a network-based installation, but this is
not possible to do through CloudStack.
My usual recommendation is to do a supported installation of Ubuntu on a
standalone XenServer to get a PV mode VM, export the VHD, and import it
as a template to CloudStack. If no XenServer host is unavailable,
install one in VirtualBox on a laptop and setup a PV mode Ubuntu VM
there. It is possible to convert an HVM mode VM to PV mode, but it is
an error prone and time consuming process, so it is usually better to
build the in PV mode to begin with.
