Citrix XenServer: Error starting virtual machine INVALID_SOURCE

Table of contents

INVALID_SOURCE Unable to access a required file in the speci ===

Today we are going to see how to solve when we try to install a machine under XenServer and when trying to start it we get the following error:

INVALID_SOURCE
Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: file:///tmp/cdrom-repo-mRk5kz/install/vmlinuz.

This error is due to the virtual machine configuration not enabling ISO booting.

We go to the console and execute the following command:

[root@xenserver01 ~]# xe vm-list
uuid ( RO)           : 5aa8737a-a547-453d-9322-cefa759cb094
name-label (RW): Control domain on host: xenserver01
power-state (RO): running

uuid ( RO)           : 00af274d-fb41-2c55-a612-c451b2d3b530
name-label (RW): Debian
power-state (RO): halted

We take the UUID identifier and execute the following command:

[root@xenserver01 ~]# xe vm-param-set uuid=00af274d-fb41-2c55-a612-c451b2d3b530 HVM-boot-policy=BIOS\ order HVM-boot-params:order=dc
[root@xenserver01 ~]#

Once this is executed it should let us start it.

Greetings, rokitoh!
