Use the sr-createcommand to create an EqualLogic SR. For example:

xe sr-create host-uuid=<valid_uuid>content-type=user \ name-label=<"Example shared Equallogic SR"> \ shared=true device-config:target=<target_ip>\ device-config:username=<admin_username>\ device-config:password=<admin_password>\ device-config:storagepool=<my_storagepool>\ device-config:chapuser=<chapusername>\ device-config:chappassword=<chapuserpassword>\ device-config:allocation=<thick>\

EqualLogic VDI Snapshot space allocation with XenServer EqualLogic Adapter

When you create a SR using the EqualLogic plug-in, you specify a storage pool in which the SR is created.

If the storage pool comprises of all the "member arrays" in the EqualLogic group
