Xen users - Jan 2011 - XCP 1.0 beta - Locked VDI after power loss

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

C

Hi,

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

Backup metadata:

restore metadata or guess which VDI''s are connected to VMs

Hi,

Try to do

# lvremove /dev/VG_XenStorage-"your sr
id"/VHD-fc77b366-950b-49be-90ce-2a466cf73502
# xe sr-scan uuid="your sr id"

See if it shows..

Regards,
Rushikesh
