I had the very same problem and resolved it quite some-time back. ********************** Reason: The xenserver host did not contain system-vm.iso, vhd-util etc. If you also could not find these files in your xenserver read-on **********************
A CS host tag had erroneously labeled/marked the XenServer was already patched even though it was not patched. So CS did not patch the host with the files (vhd-util,....). Solution: Remove the tags in the host and re-add the host Steps: The following sequence of steps should help fix the problem. 1. Remove the host 2. Cleanup the host as usual (clear vbd and any vms) 3. Remove cs tags of the host using the following command. xe host-param-clear uuid=<hostid> param-name=tags 4.
