I have another question about installing Xen guests. This is about the source for install media. When I installed the host I used an ISO image of CD1 in my laptop, and pointed my ILO software to that as a CD image redirection. I used "linux askmethod" and pointed to an NFS mount with the other CD ISOs on it.
This all worked perfectly. However, when I install a guest - it wants the install media specified as http so I managed to set up a loopback mount of a DVD build image I had available, and modiifed my httpd.conf to reflect the new image. The question is - if I wanted to install the guest OS from the CD ISOs how would I specify them? If I present CD1 as a loopback mount the install just hangs - obviously it needs more than CD1 but doesn't seem to handle multiple CDs? I've read about this in the Release Notes but that refers to FULL Virtualisation creating guests in the QEMU console- all I'm trying to do is create a para-virtualised guest using the Virtual Machine Manager. Any ideas how to point the Virtual Machine Manager at multiple CDs would be appreciated.
