XCPNG HELP? ->Adding Drive -> Error(SR use by the Server)

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds
1

Hello,

Anyone, help?
Trying to add a new SSD Drive (not RAID) to an existing XCPNG Server.

I’ve SSH into the server using command → fdisk -l (able to see the new drive /dev/sda)
Used command → xe sr-create name-label=“Local Storage 3” shared=false device-config:device=/dev/sda type=ext content-type=user host-uuid=7710309f-6ee5-49d7-88fd-37d5193c0913

But getting the below error message. Made sure the UUID was correct.

The SR operation cannot be performed because a device underlying the SR is in use by the server

You should be able to do it from Xen Orchestra via adding new storage and choosing local:

Would you be able to tell me where the “Adding new storage” in the Xen Orch. ? I tried going to storage → but was not able to find add new storage.

I think found it… Getting an error:
