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 On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 01:32:28AM +0200, Mark Schneider wrote: > Hello, > > I need your kindly help.
