[Xen-API] XCP 1.6, create ISO shared storage on NFS using CLI - "missing the location parameter"



Hello.

I'm trying to add a shared ISO storage over NFS to my pool, using the CLI, and get a error that suggests something is wrong with my syntax. The NFS server works fine, as far as I can test it. I'm able to add the shared ISO storage using XenCenter GUI.

Using XenServer 6.1 documentation [1] as reference, I run:
xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \
  type=iso content-type=iso  shared=true\
  device_config:location=nfs-server-hostname:/srv/nfs/xcp-library

And get:
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_94
Error parameters: , The request is missing the location parameter,

(Those whitespace around commas may indicate that some parameters are not parsed correctly?)

In the same reference document, I found a mention of a slightly different syntax [2], normally used to create a NFS VHD storage. I tested it, modifying the type= and content-type=:
xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \
  type=iso content-type=iso shared=true \
  device-config:server=nfs-server-hostname \
  device-config:serverpath=/srv/nfs/xcp-library

...and got the same error.

Even if I try to bind the SR to a specific host, it's the same:
xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \
  host-uuid=`xe host-list name-label=xcp-node24 --minimal` \
  type=iso content-type=iso \
  device_config:location=nfs-server-hostname:/srv/nfs/xcp-library

...same error.

I must add, the CLI works great when I create a NFS VHD:
xe sr-create name-label="NFS virtual disk storage" \
  type=nfs content-type=user shared=true \
  device-config:server=nfs-server-hostname \
  device-config:serverpath=/srv/nfs/xcp-storage

Please advice, what am I missing?

Thank you.
