XenServer 7 install not working for SD-Card setup

@guyinpv From the storage tab while a vm is selected in XenCenter, Click on Attach Disk. choose the disk from your list of SR.

The only thing in this menu is "Local storage" and "Removable storage".
The VHD files I have are not located on the local storage media, they are on my NAS backup device.
Somehow I have to get the VHD files off the NAS and imported into the existing VMs.

Oh i thought you got nfs working earlier

I did but that was just my ISO collection, lol
I did try to connect the folder where my backup is, also as an NFS store, but it doesn't really work that way. XS treats these connects like an SR. All I want to do is copy those VHDs back to the server's own local storage, not setup a new SR.
Maybe I'm missing a step here?

Can you to connect to that SR then move the disks to the local SR, then attach the disk to the vm? In 6.5 i think the vm had to be on to move disks, in 7 i think this is possible now.

I'm not sure how to do this off the top of my head in XenOrchestra (me=fail). How I got my XO back was by using XenCenter. Have the VHD files available on the local machine, and then go to file -> import inside of XenCenter, and select one of the VHD files. You'll then get the normal vm creation questions, but without the storage creation. You should be good to go after the import.

Sounds reasonable. Then I just have to figure out how to copy the files onto the server local storage. There is no general "file browser" in XC where I can just copy files from the network.

@guyinpv
Use winscp or FileZilla -
Or if on Linux, the normal desktop file browsers will connect, too.

The import takes care of that for you, you don't have to copy any files to XenServer yourself.
