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?

@Dashrender wasn't this the issue you had when restoring....?
Damn, good memory man! yes it was. !!!!

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...
# xe sr-introduce uuid=41365a56-2219-26df-5453-8a45ffef1b74 type=ext3 name-label=”Local storage” content-type=user -
Where are you getting
uuid=1b295c66-152c-5593-72e4-5095b3c45608From?
-
Is it ext instead of ext3? My bad. We had the same command otherwise.

No idea.
-
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."

Did this work?

Poor XenServer...

What error did you get?
Please include the full command as run and full output each time.

I'm working on a clean install again as shit is odd in here, have 2 SR's of which neither can connect.
-
I mean, honestly what is the alternative here, create 18 2TB VDI's and connect those as SR's to the host?

THat's an assumed issue, we don't know that that is part of the problem.
