Maybe I am doing this wrong or it is a bug, but I am trying to hot unplug a disk.
Host OS: OpenIndiana 151a. Virtualbox 4.1.4r74291 I attached the disk using: VBoxManage storageattach mail1 --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 3 -- device 0 --type hdd --medium iscsi --server localhost --target iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:869b1f8e-3a4f-c93e-faa2-99812bf1553a --lun 3 Inside the guest, I was able to mount the disk, then I unmounted the disk Remove it from inside the guest: echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/delete which triggers the removal of the disk: ct 21 13:18:21 mail1 kernel: [ 5748.141436] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Synchronizing SCSI cache Oct 21 13:18:21 mail1 kernel: [ 5748.142413] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdc] Stopping disk Oct 21 13:18:21 mail1 kernel: [ 5748.143572] ata4.00: disabled Now, i remove the disk from the VM: VBoxManage storageattach mail1 --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 3 -- device 0 --type hdd --medium none It shows as not being connected to any VM: UUID: 8c91b41f-3b79-4820-853b-6dad69c08a33 Accessible: yes Logical size: 102400 MBytes Current size on disk: 102400 MBytes Type: normal (base) Storage format: iSCSI Format variant: fixed default Location: localhost|iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:869b1f8e-3a4f-c93e- faa2-99812bf1553a|3 Now I try to close the medium: VBoxManage closemedium disk 8c91b41f-3b79-4820-853b-6dad69c08a33 VBoxManage: error: Medium 'localhost|iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:869b1f8e-3a4f- c93e-faa2-99812bf1553a|3' is locked for writing by another task VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component Medium, interface IMedium, callee nsISupports Context: "Close()" at line 1194 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp Am I missing something or is this a bug. thanks, Geoff _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list vbox-dev@virtualbox.org https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
