I was trying to add and initialize local storage to my XENserver 5.5 cluster and this article was only partially helpful.
Here’s my howto for dummies:
1) type
fdisk -l
and confirm that the HDD is being initialized in the system
2) use
xe host-list
to get the host-uuid= for the appropriate system
3) use the command:
xe sr-create content-type=”localSR” host-uuid= type=lvm device-config-device= name-label=”2nddrive”
I hope that helps someone else.
