Seeking Clarification for XenServer FC Primary Storage

Hi,
I want to use my FC LUN for primary storage.  I have followed the
instructions but I'm confused by the statement "On the storage server, run
this command to get a unique ID for the new SR".  What is the storage
server?  Is this the pool master?  Or the managment server or what?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Osay

we are changing the docs format, it should be easy for you to submit a github pull request:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-install

if you don't want to, do open a bug at http://issues.apache.org so we can fix it.

thanks

Thanks. The documentation needs to be updated.  It's confusing when they
say "On the storage server ....".

Hi, it doesn't matter where you run the "uuidgen" command.  The point is
only to generate a random UUID.  In the next step you use the randomly
generated UUID to create the SR in the XenServer pool.

Best regards,
Kirk
