Xenserver running on an HP ML350 G5. Raid5 with 5x2tb drives plus hot spare.
Local storage is there showing usable 7.5 tb.
Under xencenter I went to local storage, storage, virtual disks. I created 3 test disks.
The disks show up there but I'm not able to do anything with them.
If I do a cat /proc/partitions they dont show up. If I do a fdisk -l they don't show up.
All fdisk shows is /dev/cciss/c0d0 which is the full 8tb.
THen /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 gpt
I'm not sure if I'm missing something really simple here. The idea here is to create the vdi's so that Openfiler can use them.
Thank you.

So the problem seemed to be that Openfiler did not have the xenserver linux tools installed onto it. This meant that when you just rebooted the VM, the disks where not attached.
Turning off the VM and then starting it again fixed the issue!
