| Follow the [[hypervisor:base:xcp-xapi#create_and_access_a_vdi_from_dom0|procedure described in this wiki]] to create a dedicated VDI for the IPFire VM. But **DO NOT PLUG THE VBD YET**, as we'll first copy the IPFire image disk to it. | Follow the [[hypervisor:base:xcp-xapi#create_and_access_a_vdi_from_dom0|procedure described in this wiki]] to create a dedicated VDI for the IPFire VM.
