| − | The next release of XenServer & Citrix Essentials for Hyper-V will include built-in support for QuantaStor but until then you can add support to your XenServer 5.5/5.6 instances by following a few steps. | + | |
| − | ==== Step 1: Installing the QuantaStor StorageLink Adapter ====
| + | |
| − | After you have StorageLink installed and licensed you can add the QuantaStor adapter by downloading and running the StorageLink adapter installer available from our [http://www.osnexus.com/downloads/ downloads] page. Before installing the QuantaStor StorageLink adapter you'll need to first stop the StorageLink service by typing this command at an Administrator command prompt or by stopping the StorageLink service using the Windows Services panel.

| + | |
| − | c:\> net stop storagelink
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | After the service is stopped you can now install the QuantStor StorageLink Adapter using the installer executable:

| − | Additionally, you'll need to add this block of XML to the end of the StorageLink configuration file located here:
| + | [[iSCSI Initiator Setup]] |
| − | C:\Program Files\Citrix\StorageLink\Server\scsi_device_id_config.xml
| + | |
| − | <pre>

| − | <Product>QUANTASTOR</Product>
| + | |
| − | </InquiryMatch>
| + | |
| − | <VendorID value="OSNEXUS" />
| + | |
| − | <ProductID value="QUANTASTOR" />
| + | |
| − | <EnclosureID page="128" offset="4" length="8" />
| + | |
| − | <DeviceID page="128" offset="12" length="8" />
| + | |
| − | </ScsiDeviceIDProcessor>
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Also, at the top of this file you'll find a version number that looks like this:
| + | [[Multipath IO Configuration]] |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | <version>2.0.0.4</version>
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | You'll want to increase that version number so that it is something like this:
| + | |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | <version>2.0.0.5</version>
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | That tells StorageLink that it needs to upgrade your XenServer systems with these new device identification rules.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Now you're ready to restart the Citrix StorageLink service:
| + | [[NFS Configuration]] |
