XenServer 7 install to Dell R730 OBR10 15TB
-
I'll play with my lab at some point and see if I can get this going.
-
Not sure why it let's you pick these options..............
-
So the individual 8TB drives are all listed as available targets, but selecting the thin provisioning seems to do nothing.
It still configures it as LVM, and thick.
For testing, go ahead and follow through with the process, then once the install is complete run
xe sr-list uuid=<any 8tb uuid> params=all -
Will do.
I added 4x 8TB virtual drives + 1x 64GB (for o/s) -
How about the message: "One SR will created that spans the selected disks"?
-
@FATeknollogee I'm not certain, I've never presented more than a single disk to be used for the local storage.
If it create a single array across of the disks then it's doing some sort of RAID setup. Which would be bad, since you generally want your array managed by the controller
-
Unless of course you're using software raid.
But this was previously setup inside of XS, not during installation. (there is a guide around here somewhere with software raid and XS 6.5)
-
That message seems to imply that XS would create some type of "span" across the 4 disks I selected.

I assume some sort of RAID setup (span is just a non-scary word for it)
-
I think it just spans it. No RAID.

@FATeknollogee You put in a proper SR uuid, correct?
-
@DustinB3403 My bad, I forgot to enter the UUID.

BRBYou don't have remote access (or out of band access) to the host?
You can do this directly via XC and the console connection.
-
THat's exactly where I am, in XC, console tab
-
Is this the right cmd to find UUID?

Good, just making sure you weren't walking to the server...
-
@DustinB3403 Haha, no prob., thx for the reminder!
-
@FATeknollogee yeah.
Start here though

cat /proc/partitionsAlso in XC do you see local storage under this host, or no?
-
No local storage
