Wheezy xcp-xapi /usr/share/doc/xcp-xapi/README.Debian -bash: xe-mount-iso-sr: command not found

xen-api:

I'm attempting to follow along with the xcp-xapi README.Debian on Wheezy
per:

http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120425

When I attempt to mount a directory that contains ISO images via NFS,
the "xe-mount-iso-sr" command doesn't seem to exist:

2012-04-29 17:48:31 root [at] i72600 ~
# xe-mount-iso-sr
-bash: xe-mount-iso-sr: command not found

Using Bash tab completion, I don't see any xe-* commands:

2012-04-29 17:52:50 root [at] i72600 ~
# xe
xe xenstore-chmod xenstore-watch xentrace_setsize
xedit xenstore-exists xenstore-write xev
xen xenstore-list xentop xeyes
xend xenstore-ls xentrace
xenperf xenstore-read xentrace_format
xenpm xenstore-rm xentrace_setmask

Searching the xe help page for anything related to ISO yields nothing:

2012-04-29 17:52:50 root [at] i72600 ~
# xe help --all | grep -i iso

Same goes for the man page:

2012-04-29 17:56:47 root [at] i72600 ~
# export MANWIDTH=72; man xapi | grep -i iso
and data centers by combining the isolation and multitenancy
capabilities of the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security,
mance and isolation across both private and public clouds.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

David

Have you managed to get the xe command working at all yet?

xe-mount-iso-sr is in /usr/lib/xcp/bin - it's not on the path.

Documentation is an area where we're lacking at the moment, unfortunately :-(

Yes:

Sneaky. Next time, I'll try to remember to locate it:

2012-04-30 09:26:38 root [at] i72600 ~
# locate xe-mount-iso-sr
/usr/lib/xcp/bin/xe-mount-iso-sr

Producing software for FOSS OS's is a conundrum -- every vendor and
distribution is different (Debian GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD, i386, amd64,
stable, testing, unstable, etc.; Red Hat ...; SUSE ...; *BSD ...,
OpenSolaris ..., etc.). There are too many permutations, which imposes
uncomfortable choices and duplicated effort.

Fortunately, I'm using Debian GNU/Linux amd64 testing and the Debian and
Xen projects are making an effort to make XCP available on this
platform. :-)

VDIs from ISOs on the NFS share will be created automatically for you and you should be able to use the ISOs after that. Most likely the command you try to run does just that and may not be implemented in your distro yet (although this should just be a bash or python script created as a shortcut).

Thanks for the reply. :-)

Jonathan helped me find the "xe-mount-iso-sr" command:
