# How To Change the Default Storage Repository to File-based VHD-on-EXT3
**NOTE: Requires fog > 1.8 (currently in development as of this writing)**
This tutorial explains how to convert a local Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
based storage repository into a file-based (VHD) storage repository.
It's the fog/xenserver version of the original Citrix KB article:
http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx116324
To create this tutorial, I've used a vanilla XCP 1.6 ISO install in VirtualBox.
## Create the connection
```ruby
require 'fog'
conn = Fog::Compute.new({
:provider => 'XenServer',
:xenserver_url => '192.168.1.39',
:xenserver_username => 'root',
:xenserver_password => 'secret'
})
```
## Remove the LVM-backed storage repository (SR).
Find the default LVM storage repository:
```ruby
#
# Equivalent to:
# xe sr-list type=lvm
#
lvm_sr = nil
conn.storage_repositories.each do |sr|
lvm_sr = sr if sr.type == 'lvm'
end
```
Determine the UUID for your default SR's physical block device:
```ruby
#
# Equivalent to:
# xe pbd-list sr-uuid=your SR UUID
#
if lvm_sr
conn.pbds.each do |pbd|
# Unplug it if found
# Equivalent to:
# xe pbd-unplug uuid=your PBD UUID
#
pbd.unplug if pbd.storage_repository.uuid == lvm_sr.uuid
end
# Destroy the SR
lvm_sr.destroy
end
```
Create a new VHD-backed SR:
```ruby
#
# Equivalent to:
#
# xe sr-create content-type="local SR" \
# host-uuid=5d189b7a-cd5e-4029-9940-d4daaa34633d \
# type=ext device-config-device=/dev/sda3 shared=false \
# name-label="Local File SR"
#
sr = conn.storage_repositories.create :name => 'Local File SR',
:host => conn.hosts.first,
:type => 'ext',
:content_type => 'local SR',
:device_config => { :device => '/dev/sda3' },
:shared => false
```
Set your SR as the default SR on the system:
```ruby
#
# Equivalent command:
# xe pool-param-set suspend-image-SR='YOUR NEW SR UUID' uuid=bleh
#
conn.pools.first.default_storage_repository = sr
```
Set your SR as the default location for suspended VM images:
```ruby
#
# Equivalent command:
# xe pool-param-set suspend-image-SR= YOUR NEW SR UUID uuid=bleh
#
conn.pools.first.suspend_image_sr = sr
```
