I believe I have figured out what my issue was. In this line above:
xe vif-create vm-uuid=$uuid network-uuid=$netuuid mac=random device=0
other-config-install-repository=http://192.168.9.35/home
I have vm-uuid before network-uuid when I switched the two around so that it
read this way instead:
xe vif-create network-uuid=$netuuid vm-uuid=$uuid mac=random device=0
other-config-install-
repository=http://192.168.9.35/home
I was able to get a successful install from my loopback mounted ISO on my
internal webserver.
Thanks for all the help, I am sure to have many more questions as I move along.
Jon
