Re: [Xen-users] xcp : vm installation

[Valerio De Rosa <valesmn@xxxxxxxx>]

I think I am really having problems understanding how I should proceed, Could you be so kind to give some tips?

On my server, I have not a cd-rom, but a virtual media(I mount images on the server using hp ilo, from another host).That means that I can find a mounted image not in /dev/ but somewhere else I have not found exactly. Said that, I cannot understand why, following this guyâs steps (http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Docs-How-to-create-and-install-CentOS-PVMs-with-xe-CLI-on-XCP-1-1-td4937495.html) I encounter always the same error, the one you were referring in your answer.

In the case of the last error, it is telling you exactly what the
issue is, you can not store a disk image (a virtual hard drive you are
creating in order to run a virtual machine) on the same SR as your ISO
store.
