In My CCP environment,i can add a host in a cluster,but add the another host,,the error is "unable to add host" shown..i check the error messages in management-server.log , i can find the error

Hi,

output seems to indicate the host couldn't be joined to the pool of XenServers since it already has shared SR configured. I normally join my XenServer to the pool before attempting to add it to CloudPlatform but based on the output you've presented us, it looks like you normally just add the server in CloudPlatform and let CP make the new slave join your XenServer pool, is that right? Either way, the key part of the output you pasted is as follow:

2013-09-17 16:42:10,613 WARN http://xen.resource.XenServerConnectionPool (catalina-exec-11:nul
l) Catch com.xensource.xenapi.Types$JoiningHostCannotContainSharedSrs Unable to allow host
192.168.9.25 to join pool 192.168.9.24 due to The host _joining the pool _cannot contain an
y shared storage.

Logging in to the slave server and manually mounting the SR is great since it validates this isn't a network problem but remember there should be absolutely no VMs or SRs configured on the slave before it joins the pool.

Citrix's recommended steps to provision a new host can be found in the following document under Chapter 8 "Steps to provisioning your Cloud Infrastructure" http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/33425-102-696517/CloudPlatform3.0.6AdminGuide.pdf

Please rate if my answer helped.

Thank Sir...
I still cannot join the pool,but I found the information in /var/log/messages as follow:

In My CCP Lab environment,the xenserver is free version.Might I upgrade the xenserver version from free to enterprise to
solve the issue?

Are the other hosts in the cluster also free or are they enterprise edition? I've never seen in written a requirement for the different XenServers in a pool to be licensed the same but I guess it would make sense. That being said, it is possible to join a free XenServer to a pool being managed by CPP, that's never been a problem so just upgrading to enterprise without thinking about it doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

The error is being thrown by XenServer. It will be interesting to see if you are able to add a host with free license to a pool with hosts having enterprise license. I can see very obvious issues with functionality like HA, live migration, etc.

I guess it makes sense to assert that all hosts in a pool have compatible licenses (if I may say so).

I Upgrade License from Free to "enterprise",but still cannot join pool...it is a strange problem...I can manually mount primary storage,but i cannot join

pool used with XenCenter .I never meet such situation before except the two hosts are VM installed with XenServer 6.1. Can anyone have the such problem ? (ps.attach files is Xenserver log file).....
