Note:

XenCenter 2023.x.x is currently in preview and is not supported for production use. Note that any future references to production support apply only when XenCenter 2023.x.x and XenServer 8 go from preview status to general availability.

You can use XenCenter 2023.x.x to manage your XenServer 8 and Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 non-production environments. However, to manage your Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 production environment, use XenCenter 8.2.7. For more information, see the XenCenter 8.2.7 documentation.

You can install XenCenter 8.2.7 and XenCenter 2023.x.x on the same system. Installing XenCenter 2023.x.x does not overwrite your XenCenter 8.2.7 installation.

You can download the Workload Balancing virtual appliance and get it up and running using the following process:

Download the Workload Balancing virtual appliance package from the XenServer downloads page.
In XenCenter, select File and then Import and follow the on-screen instructions to import the Workload Balancing virtual appliance.
Configure the Workload Balancing virtual appliance using the Workload Balancing Configuration wizard, which appears in the appliance’s Console tab in XenCenter after you import the virtual appliance.
Connect your pool to the Workload Balancing virtual appliance as described in Connecting to Workload Balancing.

For more information, see the XenServer product documentation - Get started with Workload Balancing.

Note:

The WLB tab appears on the Properties pane after you license your hosts with XenServer Premium Edition. For more information about licensing, see About XenServer Licensing.
