[Xen-users] Creation of Storage repositories SRs'' for Virtual Disk Images VDIs''
Hullo everybody I am working on a Dell server R710 and using RAID5 and below are my storage parameters after XCP installation . *[root@virtualintranet /]# fdisk -l* Disk /dev/sda: 1998.2 GB, 1998233534464 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 242938 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 523 4194304 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 523 1045 4194304 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1045 242938 1943010845+ 8e Linux LVM On starting VM: *[root@virtualintranet /]# xe vm-start uuid=cf49ac3b-4f08-0cf7-1b90-454667cd7c2f* Error code: INVALID_SOURCE Error parameters: Unable to access a required file in the specified repository: file:///tmp/cdrom-repo-lwX1I5/images/xen/vmlinuz., ,>From the above it looks like it is the problem of my image (slackware.13-0.x86.img) which is slackware.10GiB. so i therfore thought of creating a Storage Repository SR for VDI (virtual disk image) probably that will help me to start my VM , and i am working with Logical volumes .Is it possible to create a VDI in logical volumes? Could somebody out there advise on how to create a Storage Repositories SRs'' for VDIs'' or any other options to go over this. And what are the recommended RAIDS for this scenario, is Raid 5 a workable one?
