Re: [Xen-users] XCP 1.1 question: How to add ISO SRs / PBDs to the cd-list with xe CLI?

What worked for me when adding centos iso images:

#create a directory to store isos
mkdir -p /var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57
#put an iso there
mv CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1of8.iso /var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57/
#add it as an SR
xe sr-create name-label=centos57 type=iso
device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57
device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso

The trick here is to create a subdirectory same as your name-label (looks like
official documentation expects this to be done but never mentions that)

After adding more isos to that directory, ''xe sr-create'' needs
to be run again with the same parameters for them to appear in xe vdi-list

RE: [Xen-users] XCP 1.1 question: How to add ISO SRs / PBDs to the cd-list with xe CLI?

I think you got a little backwards. Each iso would be a vdi and not an
individual sr.

This should help you

Subject: [Xen-users] XCP 1.1 question: How to add ISO SRs / PBDs to the cd-list
with xe CLI?

Hello,

I need your kindly help. I spent already few days trying around but
didn''t achieve any success in installing VMs from local iso images
(even any other way like network install or local DVD-drive).

I have created SRs for local ISO images (s. below) on dom0 (XCP 1.1). I am
missing the right command to add them to the cd-list as I want to install VMs
from them (s. more details in attached file)

I am getting errors when trying to create as follows:
# ---
[root@xendom0db02 opt]# xe vdi-create name-label=squeeze.iso
sr-uuid=6cf47222-09eb-80b1-0c56-1b5f3a4717c6 type=user virtual-size=0
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_78
Error parameters: , VDI Creation failed [opterr=could not create file:

# ---

I was of course reading all XenServer 5.6 1.2 Edition pdf docs however I
didn''t find what I looked for.

What do I miss? Thank you in advance for any hints.

Regards, Mark
