Cannot create SMB ISO repository on new XOA

shareefj

As a workaround, I used the command line to create the store:

xe sr-create host-uuid=<your_host_uuid> content-type=iso type=iso shared=true name-label="SMB ISO SR" device-config:location="\\\\10.10.10.139\\share" device-config:type=cifs device-config:username=<username>

Note the escaped backslash. And in my case I didn't need an SMB password but the command line insisted on me providing a username.

And as a side note, getting the command line wrong still seems to end up creating broken SR entries that need to be cleaned.

Hi

The issue for the SMB ISO should be fixed on the branch fix-iso-smb.

BTW, in your browser dev tools, you will see this error again as it's not related to the bug, at least for the creation button that doesn't appear.

index.js:525 [React Intl] Error formatting the default message for: "newSrSmbAddressPlaceHolder"
SyntaxError: Expected "\\#", "\\\\", "\\u", "\\{", "\\}", "{", [^{}\\\0-\x1F\x7f \t\n\r], end of input or whitespace but "\\" found.

Thanks

@MathieuRA Thank you for your efforts to get this fixed in such a timely manor! Would you mind pointing me in the direction of any sort of help document that explains how to update my XOA to the branch for fix-iso-smb? This would be my first time doing so. Thank you in advance!

@fitzgeraldtech

If you are using XO from source, you can follow this documentation.

Instead of git checkout . use git checkout fix-iso-smb

The fix is now available on the master branch. Commit: 24a75ba

@MathieuRA Hello. Many thanks for the fix. I updated to the latest commit (73ad9) and it fix indeed the SMB share creation button.
But it is still missing when trying to add a NFS SR or a NFS ISO SR.

I also check with XOA (latest release), the issue is also there.

No biggies as we can add NFS share through xsconsole or xe-cli, but would be nice to be able to do that from XO as well.

Thanks !

@Mathieu still nobody confirmed problem with NFS. So, did you press the scan button?

@Tristis-Oris
I'm completely dumb, I missed the scan button...

Once you scan it, it is working alright.

Sorry for the trouble.

this button indead not very visible. Maybe it's worth to make it more like usual button? Paint to blue, or move to other side.
