Re: [Xen-API] Error, system does not manage this VDI on iscsi SR

[Julian Chesterfield <julian.chesterfield@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anthony,

The managed flag needs to be toggled. If you issue:

'xe vdi-create sr-uuid=c356b7b4-8cb1-4937-dd9b-983f0da2d124 
name-label=<DISK NAME> type=user virtual-size=10737418240'
it should return the next closest match VDI from the SR unmanaged list, 
i.e. the VDI below. This will toggle the status to managed, and you can 
attach the LUN.
