Objective
This article describes how to remove a Storage Repository (SR)
on a XenServer host when the Storage Repository is experiencing
issues, or if you wish to
discontinue using the Storage Repository.
A XenServer Storage Repository is used to Store ISOs or Virtual
Machine (VM) Virtual Disks (VDIs). The Storage Repository is
connected to a XenServer
through a Physical Block Device (PBD) which contains the
configuration for the Storage Repository. It is necessary to
disconnect the PBD before you
detach or remove the Storage Repository from the XenServer
host.
Instructions
To remove a Storage Repository from the XenServer host, complete
the following procedure:
Right click the Storage Repository and select Detach. If Detach
is not an option then the Storage Repository is in use (DVD loaded
on Virtual
Machine for ISO or Virtual Machine Running for Storage SR).
Complete the following procedure if you have detached all the
ISOs in your DVD drives and stopped all Virtual Machines with VDIs
running on Storage
Repository.
1.
Run the following command to identify the Storage Repository
UUID:
xe sr-list name-label=.
Note: You can select the Storage Repository and select the
General tab and locate the UUID in the UUID field.
2.
Run the following command to find the UUID of the PBD :
xe pbd-list sr-uuid=
3.
Run the following command:
xe pbd-unplug uuid=
4.
Run the following command:
xe sr-forget uuid=
Note: You can right click the Storage Repository on the
XenCenter Interface and select Forget if it is an option.
5.
The Storage Repository will be removed from the XenCenter and
XenServer host.
Note: If an error message is displayed while removing the
Storage Repository, check the /var/log/messages.* log or
/var/log/SMlog.*
