Mel Davis commented on CLOUDSTACK-602:
--------------------------------------
Almost. If you have genisoimage, you do not need mkisofs.
There are two options:
1) install mkisofs or
2) fool cloudstack into using genisoimage instead of mkisofs by executing: ln
-s /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs
For my system, I used option 2.
In general, not cloudstack specific: Some people always create a symbolic link
from genisoimage to mkisofs to make other programs happy. Other people argue
that it should never be done because the two programs are not 100% equivalent.
The preferred way is for cloudstack to check to see which is installed and use
that one. Until then, use one of the options above.

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: Doc
> Affects Versions: 4.1.0
> Environment: debian
> Reporter: Mel Davis
> Assignee: Radhika Nair
> Priority: Trivial
>
> cloud-setup-management fails quietly if /usr/bin/mkisofs is no found.
> Failure is indicated only in the
> /var/log/cloud/management/management-server.log. This results in the
> inability to log into client via the web interface.
> The docs should at least note the dependency and, maybe, suggest this
> workaround:
> ln -s /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs
