Via Xen Orchestra

Xen Orchestra is the de facto standard client to manage your XCP-ng hosts.

Quick’n dirty

Here is the easiest way to achieve it. In Xen Orchestra, left main menu, go into “+ New”, then “Storage”. Select your host, then fill the form:

  • Host: the host you want to create the local ISO SR
  • Name/description: the name label and description of your ISO SR (you can change it anytime later)
  • Storage type: ISO SR/Local
  • Path: /media

Click on “Create” and you are done:

Note: the space left is the real space left on your root partition. Take care to NEVER fill it!

Upload your ISO

Now you can import your favorite distro ISO via Xen Orchestra directly: in the left menu, go in “Import”, then “Disk”, select your freshly created ISOs SR and then drag & drop your ISO:

Upload your ISO directly inside Xen Orchestra

ℹ️

If you want to “refresh” when you uploaded an ISO, go in the SR view and click on “Rescan all disks” button (top-right in the action bar).
