Thu, I'm also a newbie in XCP, so I don't know how much help that I can provide, but...
It's been awhile, and I might not be correctly recalling all the details, but from what I remember I was "sort of" able to do what you want to do. That is, I was able to create an NFS-based ISO SR and an NFS-based VM SR, both hosted on dom0. The NFS-based ISO SR was fully functional, but I had some problems with the NFS-based VM SR. However, the problems with the NFS-based VM SR seems to be related to another issue that I'm having, so maybe they won't affect you. I put my VMs in /nfs/xva and ISOs in /nfs/iso. And while I'm sure there is a better way, if I recall correctly, I got things working by editing my /etc/exports file to include the following, or something similar: /nfs/iso <host IP address>/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) /nfs/xva <host IP address>/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) As for the xe command that you tried, I can't really help much. I created my NFS-based SRs using XenCenter. So you might want to give XenCenter a try for proof of concept. Hope it works for you. Either way, please report back. Maybe we can compare notes.
