Hi,
This is Mikrotik installation guide for Mikrotik CHR on XEN:
How to Install CHR
We provide 4 different virtual disk images to choose from. Note that they are only disk images, and you can't simply run them.
RAW disk image (.img file)
VMWare disk image (.vmdk file)
Hyper-V disk image (.vhdx file)
VirtualBox disk image (.vdi file)
Steps to install CHR
Download virtual disk image for your hypervisor
Create a guest virtual machine
Use previously downloaded image file as a virtual disk drive
Start the guest CHR virtual machine
Log in to your new CHR. Default user is 'admin', without password
Please note that running CHR systems can be cloned and copied, but the copy will be aware of the previous trial period, so you cannot extend your trial time by making a copy of your CHR. However, you are allowed to license both systems individually. To make a new trial system, you need to make a fresh installation and reconfigure RouterOS.
Installing CHR
VMWare Fusion / Workstation and ESXi 6.5
