Installing the QuataStor StorageLink Adapter

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 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

After the service is stopped you can now install the QuantStor StorageLink Adapter using the installer executable: osn_quantastor_client.exe

Additionally, you'll need to add this block of XML to the end of the StorageLink configuration file located here: C:\Program Files\Citrix\StorageLink\Server\scsi_device_id_config.xml

<ScsiDeviceIDProcessor>
  <InquiryMatch>
    <Vendor>OSNEXUS</Vendor> 
    <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>

C:\Program Files\Citrix\StorageLink\Server\scsi_device_id_config.xml

Once the installation is complete you'll need to restart the Citrix StorageLink service like so:

c:\> net start storagelink
