A medium (CD or DVD) from which the operating system for a XenVM can be installed is available on the Server Unit in file form as an installation source.
Installation sources are either ISO image files (suffix iso) or installation configuration files (in the case of SLES e.g. AutoYAST-XML files). The administrator or XenVM administrator manages these files in a local library on the Server Unit.
When a XenVM is installed, a virtual DVD drive must be configured which reads in the data from the installation medium, i.e. from an installation source (see "Assign installation source").

The Installation sources tab provides the following functions:
Delete installation source
You can delete an installation source only if it is not assigned to a XenVM.
> | Click the Delete icon by the required installation source and confirm the action. |
Upload installation source
As a XenVM cannot access the Server Unit’s physical DVD drive, direct installation from a CD/DVD is not possible. However, the SE Manager offers the option of uploading an ISO image file from the PC to the local library as an information source.
> | Click Upload information source and select the required ISO image file in the browser dialog box. |
After the update, the updated table displays the newly created ISO image file as an installation source in the local library.
