Creating an SR
Now that the XenServer host has been configured to access an iSCSI volume target, you can create a
XenServer SR. You can configure an SR from HP StorageWorks SAN targets using LVM over iSCSI or
LVM over HBA.
Note
LVM over HBA connectivity is beyond the scope of this white paper.
In this example, the IP address of host XenServer-55b-02 is 1.1.1.230; the virtual IP address of the HP
StorageWorks iSCSI SAN cluster is 1.1.1.225.
Use the following procedure to create a shared-LVM SR:
1.
In XenCenter, select Storage Repository or, with XenCenter 5.5, New Storage.
2.
Under Virtual disk storage, select iSCSI to create a shared-LVM SR, as shown in Figure 16. Select
Next.

Specify the name of and path to the SR. For clarity, the name XPSP2-01 is used to match the name
of the iSCSI volume and of the VM that will be created later.
