I am creating a home lab with Citrix XenServer and XenDesktop 5 express on VMWare Workstation 7. I've successfully connected both XenServer and XenCenter and now I am trying to add a new VM using XenCenter. The problem is that when I get to the storage section to store the VM everything is grayed out &quot;no suitable storage&quot;. what am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
note: I have 150GB of space on both VM's -Windows Server 2008 SP2 and XenServer. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
please advice. <br />
