[Michaël Van de Borne <michael.vandeborne@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Donal, hi all,

I'm trying to test the Boot From ISO feature. So I've set a XenServer 
host and installed a Ubuntu 11.10 PV DomU in it.

Then I used the following commands but, as you can see in the attached 
nova-compute log excerpt, there was a problem.

glance add name=fedora_iso disk_format=iso < 
../Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso
ID: 4
nova boot test_iso --flavor 2 --image 4

I can see the ISO images using "nova list" but not using "glance index".

The error seems to be: 'Cannot find SR of content-type ISO'. However, 
I've set a NFS ISO Library using XenCenter, so that there is an actual 
ISO content-typed SR. How to tell OpenStack to use this SR for the ISO 
images I post using glance?

Any clue? I feel I'm rather close to make it work.


thanks,

michaël
