Sorry! I almost forgot about this! Basically what you need to do is extract the ISO to a directory inside your HTML root on some server. Then, create a file inside it called .treeinfo
This file is essentially what pulp uses to figure out what the KS tree for an operating system is. It'll only work with XenServer 7 right now because XenServer 6 does not follow the normal KStree guidelines. This is what I have in my .treeinfo: [platform] name = XCP version = 2.1.0 [branding] name = XenServer version = 7.0.0 [general] name = XenServer-7 family = XenServer timestamp = 1449700442.21 variant = version = 7 packagedir = arch = x86_64 [images-x86_64] kernel = boot/vmlinuz initrd = install.img boot.iso = boot/xen.gz [images-xen] kernel = boot/vmlinuz initrd = install.img boot.iso = boot/xen.gz On Fri, Mar 24, 2017 at 7:47 AM Neil Hanlon <[email protected]> wrote: > Definitely possible, and yes, it will work to pull in and sync the OS to > your proxies.
