Once the storage system has been installed and connected, you are ready to recognize and configure the new storage devices on the storage system. The devices on the storage system do not require any special procedures and are configured in the same way as any new (HBA-attached) SCSI disk devices. You can use the XenCenter software or the XenServer CLI (sr-probe command) to recognize and configure the new storage devices. For details and instructions, see the XenServer user documentation.
The new storage devices are recognized by the XenServer host as new scsi disk devices that are symlinked under the directory /dev/disk/by_id using the unique scsi_ids. To display the scsi_ids for a specific device, use the sginfo command with the device path, for example:
sginfo /dev/disk/by_id/ {scsi_id}
