Hi folks. I''m trying to figure out what has changed about XCP 1.6 vs XCP 1.1 that is seemingly preventing me from creating a VDI that can be attached to multiple VMs. I maintain a small blog about virtualization and high availability and I documented the necessary steps here: http://www.ha-guru.com/sharing-virtual-disks-between-xenserver-xcp-vms/ This was done on a stand alone Dell R610 server using local storage and the server is running XCP 1.1 and using this, I was able to build a 3-node NAS cluster on XCP. Trying to execute these same steps on a similar server running XCP 1.6, the results are not the same. Essentially, the sharable flag for the VDI stays false. Now the conditions have somewhat changed because I''m testing on a server in a pool. Would that have any impact? Can anyone think of any other reasons why this was working for me and is now seemingly not working? Thanks in advance..
