I
think you got a little backwards. Each iso would be a vdi and not an
individual sr.
This
should help you

Hello,
I need your kindly help. I spent already few days trying around
but didn't achieve any success in installing VMs from local iso images
(even any other way like network install or local DVD-drive).
I have created SRs for local ISO images (s. below) on dom0 (XCP
1.1). I am missing the right command to add them to the cd-list as I
want to install VMs from them (s. more details in attached file)

I am getting errors when trying to create as follows:

I was of course reading all XenServer 5.6 1.2 Edition pdf docs
however I didn't find what I looked for.
What do I miss? Thank you in advance for any hints.
Regards, Mark
