My install repository server is my back end storage server, private IP address on the SAN. I took a quick look at your install repository, looks like a valid CentOS 5.4 repo.

Does your XCP host have working network connectivity to reach the install repo? Do you have a working DNS server set?

If you've added the missing el5.4* file per my bug fix post, I'm a little mystified. I just used that script to fire up a test VM this morning and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot!

Francesco:
     Did you get this bug fix into XCP (I presume you're running the
current 0.1.1)?

-fixes/

Also, make absolutely sure your install repository path is correct.

V.

Hi all,

i still have problem…. Some time I am able to install and other not. I
tried this on different machine either in a pool and either in a single
installation of XCP.

These are the steps I use to create a VM:

# set disk size

xe template-param-set uuid=9d8c3be5-f16b-7446-b978-e23551d8a77e
other-config:disks="<provision><disk device=\"0\" size=\"21474836480\"
sr=\"\" bootable=\"true\" type=\"system\"/></provision>"

# install VM

xe vm-install template="CentOS 5.4 x64" new-name-label="Test"
sr-uuid=be51be94-8f80-1010-c88c-0e07a55c39a8

# create VM vif0

xe vif-create vm-uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390
network-uuid=b82128e2-aa9a-8971-47c8-95b819dce275 mac=random device=0

# set install repository to local install server

xe vm-param-set uuid=fd478bba-f12f-8402-21b7-685566164390

other-config:install-repository="http://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CentOS/5.4
/os/x86_64/"

# start it

xe vm-install vm=Test

I used the content of centos.cgi from Vern’s XCCS, but I always receive
the same error:

“

[root@xcp1 ~]# xe vm-start vm=Liberty
on=b3a1cd29-4560-47d0-95d9-87ec65e27197 The bootloader returned an error

msg: Error from bootloader: Failed to parse the output of bootloader: ()

“

This is the output of vm-param-list:
