I sign this once and for all, here are the steps to follow to obtain a local or remote library of ISO images available for installation of the host:

Configure the NFS export

echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports "/ echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports / echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports / echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports / iso_import * echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports no_root_squash, echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports / echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports / echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exp

Start the NFS daemons:

service nfs start
service portmap start

Configuring the NFS daemons to start automatically:

chkconfig --level 345 nfs on
chkconfig --level 345 portmap on

Mount the repository so that it is available as a "DVD drive":

xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import 127.0.0.1: / xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import / xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import / xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import / iso_import xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import

Thanks to Shubodh for their post. I relied on it though it seemed like there were some copy/paste issues. Here are the commands I used to get my ISO to show up in XenCenter:

echo "/var/opt/xen/iso_import *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)" > /etc/exports
service nfs start
service portmap start
chkconfig --level 345 nfs on
chkconfig --level 345 portmap on
xe-mount-iso-sr 127.0.0.1:/var/opt/xen/iso_import/
cp MY_OS_CD.iso /var/opt/xen/iso_import/

Verify that the mount is seen as storage:

xe sr-list

You should see the following:

... name-label ( RW): Remote ISO Library ...

Cheers.
