Citrix Systems 5.6 manual Sr-create, Sr-destroy uuid=sruuid, Sr-forget uuid=sruuid

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	read only
	backend driver to use
content-type	the type of the SR's content. Used to	read only
	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.
shared	True if this SR is capable of being	read/write
	shared between multiple XenServer
	hosts; False otherwise
other-config	list of key/value pairs that specify	read/write map parameter
	additional configuration parameters for
	the SR .
host	The storage repository host name	read only
virtual-allocation	sum of virtual-size values of all VDIs in	read only
	this storage repository (in bytes)
sm-config	SM dependent data	read only map parameter
blobs	binary data store	read only

sr-create

sr-createname-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-configparameters 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).
