Re: How to Make Use of my NFS ISO S/R...

[Practical XenServer <practicalxenserver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I only ask because the value of having created the NFS ISO storage repository is clear when using a GUI (e.g., Xen Orchestra). But I'm not sure what value it adds when using the CLI... e.g., When installing from the CLI I access the ISO this way:

xe vm-param-set uuid=<<<Guest_UUID>>> other-config:install-repository=nfs://192.168.0.95/srv/images/ISO/CentOS-7.7-x86_64-Minimal.iso

But maybe I'm doing that wrong!

TIA,

On the NFS server:

# ls -1 /srv/images/ISO/*.iso
/srv/images/ISO/CentOS-7.7-x86_64-Minimal.iso
/srv/images/ISO/ubuntu-20.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso
/srv/images/ISO/xcp-ng-8.2.1.iso

On the XCP-ng host...

xe sr-create name-label=NAS-ISO type=iso device-config:location=192.168.0.95:/srv/images/ISO shared=true

How do I make use of it when installing guests from the CLI?
