Parameter Name Description Type
physical-size total physical size of the SR, in bytes read only
type type of the SR, used to specify the SR
backend driver to use
read only
content-type the type of the SR's content. Used to
distinguish ISO libraries from other SRs.
For storage repositories that store a
library of ISOs, the content-type
must be set to iso. In other cases, Citrix
recommends that this be set either to
empty, or the string user.
read only
shared True if this SR is capable of being
shared between multiple XenServer
hosts; False otherwise
read/write
other-config list of key/value pairs that specify
additional configuration parameters for
the SR .
read/write map parameter
host The storage repository host name read only
virtual-allocation sum of virtual-size values of all VDIs in
this storage repository (in bytes)
read only
sm-config SM dependent data read only map parameter
blobs binary data store read only
sr-create
sr-create name-label=<name> physical-size=<size> type=<type>
content-type=<content_type> device-config:<config_name>=<value>
[host-uuid=<XenServer host UUID>] [shared=<true | false>]
Creates an SR on the disk, introduces it into the database, and creates a PBD attaching the SR to a
XenServer host. If shared is set to true, a PBD is created for each XenServer host in the pool; if shared
is not specified or set to false, a PBD is created only for the XenServer host specified with host-uuid.
The exact device-config parameters differ depending on the device type. See Storage for details of
these parameters across the different storage backends.
sr-destroy
sr-destroy uuid=<sr_uuid>
Destroys the specified SR on the XenServer host.
sr-forget
sr-forget uuid=<sr_uuid>
The xapi agent forgets about a specified SR on the XenServer host, meaning that the SR is detached and
you cannot access VDIs on it, but it remains intact on the source media (the data is not lost).
