Note:
When creating a new SR on a NetApp array using StorageLink, you can choose to use either
an aggregate or an existing FlexVol.
If you choose an existing FlexVol for creating the SR, each VDI would be hosted on a LUN
within the FlexVol.
If you choose an aggregate instead, each VDI will be hosted on a LUN inside a new FlexVol
within the aggregate.
To Create a CSL SR Using XenCenter
1. On the XenCenter toolbar, click New Storage. This displays the New Storage Repository wizard.
2. Under Virtual disk storage Select Advanced StorageLink technology and then click Next.
3. Work through the wizard to configure your specific storage array.
