Notes from installing the SL6 x86_64 images at CERN for the testbed
* working from the boot.iso dated 2011-01-21 (cern mirror)
* 'host' was a virtual machine on the CVI infrastructure
Added the iso to the VMM library, requested a machine (ae-test01) via the web gui. Shut down ae-test01 and added the iso image as a virt DVD disk
