Re: VMs not Expunging
Hi, if the disks and storage are gone you can hack the database to force them out of the system. Just set the volumes for the affected VMs as state = Expunged and removed = now() and hopefully CloudStack will be able to expunge the VMs fully (i.e. they'll disappear from the UI). Of course be careful when doing anything in the db (take a backup first, etc.). Best regards, Kirk On 11/25/2014 08:51 AM, Brent Clark wrote: Thanks for all the responses everyone.

What version of CS is this, and what is the status of the primary storage for the VMs? Were they on local storage (i.e. are the VM disks all gone along with the dead host)? Best regards, Kirk

Re: VMs not Expunging
Hi Brent, It happened to me and just simply forced the expunge operation. You could also handle it via API adding a parameter “expunge=True” which will force the expunge operation to these machines.

RE: VMs not Expunging
Check your expunge.delay and expunge.interval global settings. More than likely your expunge.interval setting is set high..
