Hi Alexandre, There's a typo in the docs - "device_config:location=<nfs server:path>" should be "device-config:location=<nfs server:path>" - the underscore should be a dash/minus sign.
I'll raise a ticket with the docs team.

I'm trying to add a shared ISO storage over NFS to my pool, using the CLI, and get a error that suggests something is wrong with my syntax. The NFS server works fine, as far as I can test it. I'm able to add the shared ISO storage using XenCenter GUI. Using XenServer 6.1 documentation [1] as reference, I run: xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \ type=iso content-type=iso shared=true\ device_config:location=nfs-server-hostname:/srv/nfs/xcp-library And get: Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_94 Error parameters: , The request is missing the location parameter, (Those whitespace around commas may indicate that some parameters are not parsed correctly?) In the same reference document, I found a mention of a slightly different syntax [2], normally used to create a NFS VHD storage. I tested it, modifying the type= and content-type=: xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \ type=iso content-type=iso shared=true \ device-config:server=nfs-server-hostname \ device-config:serverpath=/srv/nfs/xcp-library ...and got the same error. Even if I try to bind the SR to a specific host, it's the same: xe sr-create name-label="NFS ISO library" \ host-uuid=`xe host-list name-label=xcp-node24 --minimal` \ type=iso content-type=iso \ device_config:location=nfs-server-hostname:/srv/nfs/xcp-library ...same error. I must add, the CLI works great when I create a NFS VHD: xe sr-create name-label="NFS virtual disk storage" \ type=nfs content-type=user shared=true \ device-config:server=nfs-server-hostname \ device-config:serverpath=/srv/nfs/xcp-storage Please advice, what am I missing? Thank you.
