Description
Sometimes we may need to change the IP of the SMB share where VHD files are stored. This article will help in changing the SR parameters without changing the UUID of the Storage repository
Instructions
1. Unplug the existing PBD's with the storage using below command
# xe pbd-list sr-uuid=<SMB_SR-UUID>
# xe pbd-unplug uuid=<PBD-UUID>
Do it for all the PBD's
2. Destroy all the PBD's listed in step 1
#xe pbd-destroy uuid=<PBD-UUID>
3. Create new PBD's for all hosts using below command.
#xe pbd-create sr-uuid=<SR-UUID> host-uuid=<HOST-UUID> device-config:server=\\\\<Server-name/ip>\\<path> device-config:username=<Server ip>\\<username> device-config:password=<password>
4. Try re-attaching the SR through xencenter and give the details of server, path and the username/password.
