Thread-topic: [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:

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
