      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
      

      Ran that cmd as root: result - "No such file or directory"

        @FATeknollogee You put in a proper SR uuid, correct?

            You don't have remote access (or out of band access) to the host?

            You can do this directly via XC and the console connection.

                Is this the right cmd to find UUID?

                  Good, just making sure you weren't walking to the server...

                      @FATeknollogee yeah.

                      Start here though

                      http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121313

                       cat /proc/partitions
                      

                      Also in XC do you see local storage under this host, or no?

                          Ok so it didn't create any storage for you at all to use, meaning you have to manually create an SR. Follow the guide I posted just above.

                              Your mileage may vary with that guide, since you have many drives presented to XS.

                                Also wouldn't it be the smarter choice to go with EXT4 over EXT3?

                                EXT4 has some oddities that made some people (XenServer) not trust it completely. I'd say XFS would've been a better choice at the time, and brtfs should be the future.

                                      I'll steal the most-moderated title if I say what I think about sticking with ext3.

                                          Does Xen support btrfs? I wonder if the upcoming release of XS with Xen 4.7 will give us more supported options.

                                            I ran this cmd's, rebooted the host & now I'm able to create SRs

                                            dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1024
