        xe sr-introduce uuid=41365a56-2219-26df-5453-8a45ffef1b74 type=lvm name-label="Local Storage" content-type=user

        Or I guess type could be ext3 if that's what yorue wanting to use.

            I think XS formatted it ext3, so unless he wants to remake the partition with LVM, ...

              following this https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121896

              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],
              

              You failed to show what you did.

              Also in this example on my screen it looks like there is a space in there? Like a tab?

                    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=”Local storage” content-type=user
                    This command sets up database records for the SR named “Local storage”.

                    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

                    Yeah this tripped me up a few times when follow Citrix documentation.

                      It's already ext3 so that would be necessary.

                          I think it should be...

                              Is it ext instead of ext3? My bad. We had the same command otherwise.

                                  Yeah, agree with @Dashrender and @scottalanmiller

                                  That is the right UUID.

                                    He's doing stuff that really only can be done on XS and is hard

                                    No, I can do all of this with KVM and more. I have multiple local stores. Some are just directories for images some are full LVs.

                                    It's only hard because it's XenServer.

                                      We've not even determined that it is hard yet. Let's save judgment for if it actually doesn't "just work."
