Prev	Appendix A CLI Command Reference	Next

Creates a storage repository.

Syntax

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

Description

This command creates a storage repository. You must supply either a fileSystem, or a serverPool and physicalDisk value(s).

After you create a repository, you should refresh it, and also refresh any disks individually to make them available in Oracle VM Manager.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`fileSystem=value`	The name or identifier of the file system to use for the storage repository.
`serverPool=value`	The name or identifier of the server pool to which the storage repository should be made available. This must be used with the `physicalDisk` option.
`physicalDisk=value`	The name or identifier of the physical disk to use for the storage repository. This must be used with the `serverPool` option.
`sharePath=value`	A path to a subdirectory on the selected file system.
`name=value`	A name to identify the storage repository.
`description=value`	Optional description for the storage repository.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
