Re: [Xen-users] problem with xen cloud installation on a shared storage

[Vern Burke <vburke@xxxxxxxx>]

I've never been able to get the xvdd method to work. If I remember the 
manual correctly, you shouldn't be adding the iso that way anyways, the 
tools iso is "supposed" to show up automagically as /dev/xvdd in the VM 
(virtual machine installation guide, page 27, installing the Linux guest 
agent).
What I did was to unpack the iso on a share on my NFS server and mount 
the share from the VM to do the installation.
