        I get this

        Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_47
        Error parameters: , The SR is not available [opterr=no such volume group: VG_XenStorage-41365a56-2219-26df-5453-    8a45ffef1b74],

          Looks like you cant because there is 0 free space.

              Try dropping the VG_XenStorage- piece in front of the the UUID

                With the time you spend fiddling with Xen rather than doing actual work you would save money by using vSphere or Hyper-v

                        It's a business time is money. It's relevant. He has a lot of issues with Xen, It's costing him money not saving him money.

                          We don't fiddle with either. We barely touch it. It just works.

                            Only because, normally, he's doing things that are outside the designed use case. Same problems would arise with vSphere or Hyper-V. So not relevant. Let me see you build vSphere with software RAID 10. See how long that takes you.

                              Then not applicable, XenServer does too when you use it as intended. So why point out this? They are all the same. Zero effort when used as intended (well not Hyper-V) and lots of effort when not.

                                Quoted from Scott's link

                                Do a pvscan to get the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of an existing SR on a local disk. This example uses UUID 39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801:

                                pvscan

                                PV /dev/sda3 VG VG_XenStorage-39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801 lvm2 [66.87 GB / 57.87 GB free]
                                Total: 1 [66.87 GB] / in use: 1 [66.87 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]

                                Note the output above, the VG name of the local drive /dev/sda3 is VG_XenStorage-39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801 . The >VG name contains the SR UUID that resides on this storage media. In this case, the UUID is 39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801.

                                Introduce the SR with the following command:

                                xe sr-introduce uuid=39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801 type=lvm name-label=โ€Local storageโ€ content-type=user
                                This command sets up database records for the SR named โ€œLocal storageโ€.

                                From your error, It appears that you copied the whole name VG_XenStorage-39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801, when you should have only used the number portion 39baf126-a535-549f-58d6-feeda55f7801

                                    Right, so that rules on vSPhere and Hyper-V here, because they can't handle the use case. So you are proving the point. vSphere can't even be installed in the way he often uses them.

                                      @Jason you are using the same argument that people often do with Windows and Linux. You mix up the impossible on Windows with the hard on Linux and see "impossible" as easier than "possible" which is obviously not true. He's doing stuff that really only can be done on XS and is hard. If he did something that "just worked" on vSphere it would basically "just work" here too.

                                        I agree, in theory, but that's not always applicable. Sometimes we have to make something work.

                                          No you said specifically he is using it outside it's designed use case which is why it's having issues. I said then don't use things for something it's not designed for. You go back and fourth on here just to make it seem like you are right so much it ain't even funny and everyone knows it but you.
