What ever i am trying add as virtual disk (i.e. usb disk, local drive). It is showing 'Active = no' under the storage tab
Screenshot:
Running fdisk -l it shows only the disk where the OS is installed.
I am using XenServer 7.2

Any chance you tried to reboot the XenServer to see if the disk show up in fdisk -l? – Alexandre Roux Aug 09 '17 at 06:36

Nope. I have restarted several times but not getting anything using fdisk -l. – Tanvir Rajeev Aug 09 '17 at 08:28

According to your screenshot the two fields device path = unknown and active = no could indicated that drive 1 and drive 2 had been previously used in XenServer system and for some reason never get purged correctly.
According to a similar post, a possible solution could be to setup your disk from an highest number (4, 5, 6...) and proceed to a complete shutdown of the system (rather than reboot).
