[Citrix] Xen Server Storage add to Type HBA

Add Another Local Disk on XenServer as a new Storage Repository

from xenserver console: fdisk -l that should return an error like this: Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table your local hard drive is "/dev/sdb" or whatever the error the first command shows you   run this command xe host-list that will return something like this: uuid ( RO) : 3614fba9-f5fc-1c57-0b42-58513c51fc1c name-label ( RW): xenb name-description ( RO): Default install of XenServer copy the UUID of your host server to the clipboard.  xe sr-create host-uuid=<your host UUID> content-type=user type=lvmohba device-config:device=/dev/sdb shared=false name-label="Local_Stor_2" if you get an error you may need to unmount your current local storage in order to add the new one. to do this, run this command: xe pbd-list get the UUID of your current storage run this: xe pbd-unplug uuid=<your storage UUID> then try mounting your Hardware HBA through Xencenter. This worked for me, hope it does for you too
