So you need to have the ISO image on a web server. Then you can use the HTTP url of the iso image. If this is internal webserver, you will need to ensure the global setting secstorage.allowed.internal.sites is set to allow the internal webserver IP address (format of x.x.x.x/x). This webserver needs to be accessible by the SSVM - once you have set up the webserver (you can even run apache on the CS MGMT server), try to telnet to the webserver from the SSVM on port 80.
A much easier way would be to upload the ISO from a public external mirror, for example for centos 6.4 use http://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/ftp.centos.org/6.4/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso Oliver -- -----Original Message----- From: Seif Eddine Jemli [mailto:seifeddineje...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 2:20 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: instance creation what should i put as an URL? the iso i want to use is on the mangement server. thx 2013/4/30 Oliver Leach <oliver.le...@tatacommunications.com> > You need to upload the ISO first in to CloudStack either as the root > user or an account / domain user.
