Find the file system you want to use to create the storage repository with the list PhysicalDisk command, for example:

OVM> list PhysicalDisk

OVM>

Create the storage repository. Use the syntax:

create Repository { fileSystem=value | serverPool=value physicalDisk=value } [ sharePath=value ] name=value [ description=value ]

For example:

OVM> create Repository name=MySANRepository serverPool=MyServerPool \
  physicalDisk=0004fb0000180000ba63ec88aa330640

For more information on the syntax and usage, see Section A.24, “create Repository” .

To grant access to the storage repository to any Oracle VM Servers, you must present the Oracle VM Server to the storage repository. To present Oracle VM Servers or all the members of a server pool to a storage repository, use the syntax:

add Server instance to { ServerPool | FileServer | SanServer | Repository | NfsAccessGroup } instance

For example:

OVM> add Server name=MyServer to Repository name=MyRepository

For more information on the syntax and usage, see Section A.10, “add Server” .

Finally, refresh the storage repository using the syntax:

refresh { Assembly | FileServer | FileSystem | PhysicalDisk | Repository | SanServer | Server } instance

For example:

OVM> refresh Repository name=MyRepository

For more information on the syntax and usage, see Section A.75, “refresh” .
