xe sr-introduce uuid=41365a56-2219-26df-5453-8a45ffef1b74 type=lvm name-label="Local Storage" content-type=userOr I guess type could be ext3 if that's what yorue wanting to use.
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.

Ok so here is what I'm going to try.
Install XS to the USB, and not select the presented array for the local storage.
From this, I'll try to add the array to xs as a local repo, using GPT.

Okay, so the same kind of procedure you would do if this was ESXi, for example.

from the thread
The initial install won't work on disks with an SR > 2TB, so if possible, I'd partition your disks so you can use the rest as one or more LVM local SRs.
Now this thread is about 6.2, but It seems to hold true for 6.5 as well.

Yeah, that's one of our theories, that there was a 2TB limit on local storage. I'm not sure when or if that was removed.
