Xen Server 8.1 Review
Add new Hard disks to the server
I had the need to add 3 hard-disks that I had availabe on the server. To achieve this I followed the guide at:
Virtualization-adding-a-hard-disk-drive-to-citrix-xenserver
My XENServer is running under the ip address:
thus I logged in as root and requested the list of hard disks and related partitions:
```cat /proc/partitions```
and it reports:
8 32 1465138584 sdc 8 16 1465138584 sdb 8 0 234438656 sda 8 1 18874368 sda1 8 2 18874368 sda2 8 3 190921711 sda3 8 4 524288 sda4 8 5 4194304 sda5 8 6 1048576 sda6 8 48 976762584 sdd 8 49 562176 sdd1 8 50 501846016 sdd2 8 51 474350592 sdd3 11 0 1048575 sr0
My SSD disk is arlready setup and running the XEN Server and it is the sda.
From the above list I can locate 2 HDD of 1.5 Terabytes (sdb and sdc) and a third HDD of 1.0 Terabyte (sdd).
Then we need to find out the uuid of the XenServer instance:
```xe host-list```
and it returns the below:
uuid ( RO) : ce5f429c-0ec4-4fd8-aa0f-be5d8b0bb6a0 name-label ( RW): xcp-ng name-description ( RW): Default install
Then we raise the mounting related commands for the 3 HDDs:
```xe sr-create content-type=user device-config:device=/dev/sdb host-uuid=ce5f429c-0ec4-4fd8-aa0f-be5d8b0bb6a0 name-label=”hd-sas-1-15t” shared=false type=lvm
