Hi Mike,
Hi have observed this behavior on CCP 4.3.x mostly and xenserver 6.5 less so
in 4.5.1. I use Fiber Channel LVMoHBA as the primary storage.
Seems like the same issue.
Disk Attached to Dom0 after snapshot or copy from secondary to primary:
In this example we have a disk attached to dom0, we cannot delete the disk
until we detach it.
admin.rc.precise 0 Created by template provisioner 42 GB Control domain on
host cpms1-1.nsp.testlabs.com.au
[root@cpms1-1 ~]# xe vdi-list name-label="admin.rc.precise 0"
uuid ( RO) : 3d79722b-294d-4358-bc57-af92b9e9dda7
name-label ( RW): admin.rc.precise 0
name-description ( RW): Created by template provisioner
sr-uuid ( RO): dce1ec02-cce0-347d-0679-f39c9ea64da1
virtual-size ( RO): 45097156608
sharable ( RO): false
read-only ( RO): false
You will want to list out the VBD (connector object between VM and VDI) based
on the VDI UUID. Here is an example:
[root@cpms1-1 ~]# xe vbd-list vdi-uuid=3d79722b-294d-4358-bc57-af92b9e9dda7
uuid ( RO) : d9e2d89e-a82f-9e6e-c97a-afe0af47468e
vm-uuid ( RO): 0f4cb186-0167-47d6-afb5-89b00102250b
vm-name-label ( RO): Control domain on host: cpms1-1.nsp.nectar.org.au
vdi-uuid ( RO): 3d79722b-294d-4358-bc57-af92b9e9dda7
empty ( RO): false
device ( RO):
Once done, you want to first try to make VBD inactive (it may already be
inactive), "The device is not currently attached"
xe vbd-unplug uuid=d9e2d89e-a82f-9e6e-c97a-afe0af47468e
Once done, you can then break the connection:
xe vbd-destroy uuid=<UUID of VBD>
Now you can delete the disk from xencenter

Adrian Sender
