Create a new LV group to Store ISOs

lvcreate -L 20G -n IsoImages VG_XenStorage-dae27f11-a60d-35d2-075a-b1c2e5fa1d81

Format that thing

mkfs.ext3 /dev/VG_XenStorage-dae27f11-a60d-35d2-075a-b1c2e5fa1d81/IsoImages

Create a place for it

mkdir /mnt/IsoImages

Turn on the LVM

vgchange -a y

Create the ISO repo in Xen

xe sr-create name-label=IsoImages type=iso device-config:location=/mnt/IsoImages/ device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso

Check that Xen can see it

 xe sr-list

Mount it

mount -t ext3 /dev/VG_XenStorage-dae27f11-a60d-35d2-075a-b1c2e5fa1d81/IsoImages /mnt/IsoImages

Add it to fstab

echo "/dev/VG_XenStorage-dae27f11-a60d-35d2-075a-b1c2e5fa1d81/IsoImages /mnt/IsoImages ext3 defaults 1 1" >> /etc/fstab
