Hello XCP community, I'm having trouble getting XCP 1.6 working. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 clean on top of recently purchased commodity hardware, and then added XCP on top via these instructions:
http://blog.scottlowe.org/2012/06/28/installing-xcp-xapi-on-ubuntu-server-12-04-lts/ http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XCP_toolstack_on_a_Debian-based_distribution http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Using_XCP_-_preparing_the_toolstack The services are up and running, and in fact I can connect to XCP via XenCenter running on another machine. However, I have an unused local 850GB partition I want to use as the main SR, but when I use the following command, I get an error: $ xe sr-create type=ext device-config:device=/dev/sda3 name-label=SR The SR operation cannot be performed because a device underlying the SR is in use by the host. Here are some other commands that might shed some light: $ fdisk -l Disk /dev/mapper/XSLocalEXT--a402d5c4--116a--316c--77f1--3940d6fbac3c-a402d5c4--116a--316c--77f1--3940d6fbac3c doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0005cb85 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 209717247 104857600 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1937840686 1953520064 7839689+ 5 Extended Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. /dev/sda3 209717248 1937840127 864061440 83 Linux /dev/sda5 1937840688 1953520064 7839688+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition table entries are not in disk order Disk /dev/mapper/XSLocalEXT--a402d5c4--116a--316c--77f1--3940d6fbac3c-a402d5c4--116a--316c--77f1--3940d6fbac3c: 884.8 GB, 884784234496 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 107568 cylinders, total 1728094208 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 $ xe sr-list uuid ( RO) : abe7f3f6-bfec-6e0a-f0c8-a286fcb2c754 name-label ( RW): XenServer Tools name-description ( RW): XenServer Tools ISOs host ( RO): xen type ( RO): iso content-type ( RO): iso Any ideas on how I can debug this?
