[Xen-API] Re: [Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta - Locked VDI after power loss

[Chris Percol <chris.percol@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just wanted to post an update on how we fixed 'vdi not available' and 'sr backend failure' issues after pulling the power on two of our xcp hosts several seconds after initiating a shutdown. We are usng an iSCSI san for storage (qsan).

###Fix VDI Problems after Power Failure###

#Steps that fixed 'vdi not available', sr backend failure

console

xe pbd-list sr-uuid=<uuid>

xe pbd-unplug uuid=<uuid>

Xen Center

Thanks for previous help on this issue.

Hi,

I've worked around this issue a couple of times - These are my notes:

• Backup metadata: http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/4.0.1/installation/apbs04.html#maintenance_backup-metadata
• Recreate SR: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX120962
  • xe sr-forget uuid=c208e85a-b5ea-8b89-62ff-52ebbf5263f8
  • xe sr-introduce uuid=c208e85a-b5ea-8b89-62ff-52ebbf5263f8 type=ext name-label='Local storage' content-type=user
  • xe pbd-create sr-uuid=c208e85a-b5ea-8b89-62ff-52ebbf5263f8 device-config:device=/dev/disk-by-id/scsi-360345678123456781300046d062de2ee-part3 host-uuid=a600493f-d142-4785-8618-d00dc5069b1e

  • xe pbd-plug uuid=dc103449-ef50-6a05-c58b-995de0314edd
  • restore metadata or guess which VDI's are connected to VMs

Hey guys I have seen a couple other folks post about this happening
but haven't seen if anyone has successfully figured out the cause and
or solution to this problem.

One of our network guys did an accidental plug pulls on one of our XCP
1.0 beta boxes. I have a couple VDI on this box " a few that are on
shared storage, and a few that are on local storage. Every time I try
to start any of them I get "the vdi is unavailable" or on open xen
manager I get - Error parameters: , The VDI is not available
[opterr=VDI fc77b366-950b-49be-90ce-2a466cf73502 already attached RW],

Any advice?

Also if this isn't the right list can anyone point me to the appropriate list?

thanks so much
