Czym jest plik XVA?
An XVA file is a virtual appliance used by Citrix XenCenter and other applications that use the Xen Project Management API to configure and control virtual machines. It contains a virtual machine that includes a pre-installed operating system and applications. System administrators use XVA files to import and instantiate virtual appliances on target machines.

The Xen Project hypervisor allows system administrators to create, start, stop, reset, and otherwise manage virtual machines. One of the Xen Project's management APIs, XAPI, is the core component for several hypervisor management applications, including Citrix XenCenter and Vates Xen Orchestra.
System administrators who want to install the same virtual machine, including a pre-installed operating system and applications, on multiple machines can export that machine as an XVA file, better known as a virtual appliance. For example, in XenCenter, administrators can export virtual machines as XVA files by selecting Tools → Virtual Appliance Tools → Export Appliance.... This preserves a copy of the virtual machine, its operating system, and its applications for later use.

- Choose and import your XVA file.
To import an XVA file into Xen Orchestra, select Import → VM and then drag your XVA file to the application.
