Thank you very much :)

It looks like I am one big step further. I have created however two separated dirs for centos and debian squeeze.

Regards, Mark

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

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 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.
