We are using the same versions of XCP and Open Xen Manager.
Now just to make sure, I installed the xen server again. And added the NFS storage and NFS Iso using the Open Xen Manager. So, I tried to create the VM using the manager. And I am still getting the same error.

=(

I really don't know what is happening.
Have you guys tried to use Xen over a virtual box instance ?

That is the problem,
My ISO is in the NFS. I had tried to mount the ISO using:
xe-mount-iso-sr
and by the command prompt.
The ISO is mounted from a NFS.

I also tried to use an ISO from a Windows file share and then I thought that
the Windows file share would be the problem, so I created a Linux NFS with
the ISO. But even with the ISO NFS on windows I am getting the same problem.

I also downloaded the openxenmanager from the repository, but it seems to be a little bugged, I tried to create a VM using it, but it did not set the CD
as bootable and the Disk as not bootable. And also it forgets to set the
parameter install-repository. And when I started the VM I got the same
problem.

It sounds like you are not using the "Other install media" template option.

install repository is only for the mirrors, not for installing from CD.

What is the XCP version that you guys are using?

XCP 1.0 is the latest currently.

What is the Open Xen Manager version that you guys are using ?

The svn version.

Hey guys,
I am creating a VM following those steps “To install a supported Linux VM
from vendor media using the CLI”:
http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/guest.pdf

I am trying to install the OS in the VM using a ISO.
So, I am having a little problem. I tried to create a VM using different
kinds of ISOs Ubuntu, Debian. But I am still getting the same message.



The ISO install needs to be in an SR. For this you should set up an NFS ISO
SR.

Alternatively, the repository path to use for the various templates
can be the path to a mirror. For example:

http://mirror.clarkson.edu/debian/
http://mirror.clarkson.edu/ubuntu/

The message is:
Error parameters: Unable to access a required file in the specified
repository:
file://tmp/cdrom-repo-s0f8aw/install.386/xen/vmlinuz., ,

Do you guys have any idea about how I can solve this problem ?
I also annexed the parameters that the VM is using.
