Configuring disk array devices
Disks in the disk array are configured using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on
the host. This includes the following procedures:
1. Configuring multipathing
2. Creating a Storage Repository
3. Adding a Virtual Disk to a domU
4. Adding a dynamic LUN
Configuring multipathing
Follow these steps to configure multipathing using XenCenter.
XenCenter is available with Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition. To install XenCenter, type the dom0
IP address into a Web browser. In the XenCenter section, click the XenCenter MSI installation file
link to install the application.
NOTE: Make sure to perform these steps on every server.
1. Open XenCenter and make sure all of the dom0s are in a pool.
2. Right-click the dom0 and select Enter Maintenance Mode.
3. Click Enter Maintenance Mode .
