Parameter Name Description Type
PBDs unique identifier/object reference for the
PBDs attached to this SR
read only set parameter
physical-utilisation physical space currently utilized on this
SR, in bytes. Note that for sparse disk
formats, physical utilisation may be less
than virtual allocation
read only
physical-size total physical size of the SR, in bytes read only
type type of the SR, used to specify the SR
backend driver to use
read only
content-type the type of the SR’s content. Currently
used only to 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, it is
recommended that this be set either to
empty, or the string 'user'.
read only
shared true if this SR is capable of being shared
between multiple XenServer Hosts; false
otherwise
read/write
other-config A list of key/value pairs that specify
additional configuration parameters for the
SR .
read/write map parameter
host The storage repository host name read only
virtual-allocation sum of virtual_sizes of all VDIs in this
storage repository (in bytes)
read only
sm-config SM dependent data read only map parameter
5.4.13.1. sr-create
sr-create name-label=name physical-size=size type=type content-type=content-type de-
vice-config:config_name=value [host-uuid=XenServer Host UUID ] [shared=true | false ]
Makes 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-config] parameters differ depending on the device type. See Chapter 3, Storage for
details of these parameters across the different storage backends.
5.4.13.2. sr-destroy
sr-destroy uuid=SR UUID
Destroys the specified SR on the XenServer Host.
5.4.13.3. 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).
