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
