      When I try to recreate the filesystem using

      pvcreate /dev/cciss/c0d0p1
       Can't open /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 exclusively.  Mounted filesystem?
      

      That is what I receive.

      Wait, do you have hardware RAID or software RAID?

          That looks like an HP SmartArray controller.

            You're running a lot of commands but not answering any questions 😉

              It is an HP Smart Array, in a DL360 G5

                Ah, okay. So that makes this a lot easier.

                      You appear to be booted into the RAID array. Your root filesystem is located there.

                        You are running from the RAID, as @Dashrender hypothesized, not from the USB stick.

                            I performed the identical installation as I have previously, and the OS was installed to the USB drive.

                              Who knows what the storage looks like now that a new partition has been created over top of the filesystem that was there before.

                                But it does make sense now 🙂

                                  I'm not concerned with the data on the RAID.

                                  I just want it corrected. Installed to the USB drive, and running from said USB. While having the local RAID 10 array for VM storage.

                                      Now performing the install yet again, I see the key difference with the installer.

                                      The initial screen (for what ever reason) was only installing to the local spinning rust array, rather than the 8GB Drive.

                                      I found a 16GB and restarted the installation, at which point it listed 2 devices to chose from to install Xen too.

                                      Wow I wished I noticed that before hand lol

                                            Did you find out why you only saw that the RAID and not the USB for installation?
