To Create a CSL SR Using XenCenter | Citrix Systems 6 guide

Parameter name	Description				Optional?

target	The server name or IP address of				No
	the array management console

storageSystemId	The storage system ID to use for				No
	allocating storage

storagePoolId	The storage pool ID within the				No
	specified storage system to use for
	allocating storage

username	The username to use for				Yes
	connection	to	the	array
	management console

adapterid	The name of the adapter				No

password	The password to use for				Yes

	authentication

chappassword	The password to use for CHAP				Yes
	authentication

protocol	Specifies the storage protocol to				Yes
	use (fc or iscsi) for multi-protocol
	storage systems. If not specified fc
	is used if available, otherwise iscsi.

provision-type	Specifies whether to use thick or				Yes
	thin provisioning (thick or thin);
	default is thick

provision-options	Additional	provisioning		options:	Yes
	Set to dedup to use the de-
	duplication features supported by
	the storage system

Note:

When creating a new SR on a NetApp array using StorageLink, you can choose to use either an aggregate or an existing FlexVol.

If you choose an existing FlexVol for creating the SR, each VDI would be hosted on a LUN within the FlexVol.

If you choose an aggregate instead, each VDI will be hosted on a LUN inside a new FlexVol within the aggregate.

To Create a CSL SR Using XenCenter

1.On the XenCenter toolbar, click New Storage. This displays the New Storage Repository wizard.

2.Under Virtual disk storage Select Advanced StorageLink technology and then click Next.

3.Work through the wizard to configure your specific storage array.
