Can not install a CentOS 5.4 Virtual Machine on Xenserver 5.0
Posted: 2012/01/18 06:47:14
Hello:
I am trying to install a CentOS v5.4 Virtual machine onto my Xenserver. We have a bunch of Windows VM's that work perfectly, but for some reason I cannot install any Centos Linux VM's. Everytime I try, I get the following error: I*NVALID_SOURCE - Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: file:///tmp/nfs-repo-7VI00B/images/xen/vmlinuz.*
I get the same message whether I try installing using the Xencenter GUI or the Command line instructions as per the link: http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.0.0/1.0/en_gb/guest.html#linux_vm_iso_install
I have tried multiple images from multiple mirrors on the CentOS website. The ISO file is stored on an NFS Storage repository where all my other ISO's are stored. and Xenserver has full access to this share.
1) Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
2) Is there a specific "Xen-ready" version of CentOS that I should be using, and if so, can you point me to the download link.
Thank you
Arif
