    Hi @syed @karuturi @SudharmaJain,
    What do you think about this approach? We will delete vmdk file if either 
createDisk or detachDisk fails, this way we make sure file doesn't exist in 
case that CloudStack retries operation. By the way, in VolumeOrchestrator lines 
556-588 there's the retry logic, to retry only if failure contains "request 
template reload":
    
    ````
    for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
                // retry one more time in case of template reload is required 
for Vmware case
                AsyncCallFuture<VolumeApiResult> future = null;
                boolean isNotCreatedFromTemplate = volume.getTemplateId() == 
null ? true : false;
                if (isNotCreatedFromTemplate) {
                    future = volService.createVolumeAsync(volume, store);
                } else {
                    TemplateInfo templ = 
tmplFactory.getTemplate(template.getId(), DataStoreRole.Image);
                    future = volService.createVolumeFromTemplateAsync(volume, 
store.getId(), templ);
                }
                try {
                    VolumeApiResult result = future.get();
                    if (result.isFailed()) {
                        if (result.getResult().contains("request template 
reload") && (i == 0)) {
                            s_logger.debug("Retry template re-deploy for 
vmware");
                            continue;
                        } else {
                            s_logger.debug("create volume failed: " + 
result.getResult());
                            throw new CloudRuntimeException("create volume 
failed:" + result.getResult());
                        }
                    }
    
                    return result.getVolume();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    s_logger.error("create volume failed", e);
                    throw new CloudRuntimeException("create volume failed", e);
                } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                    s_logger.error("create volume failed", e);
                    throw new CloudRuntimeException("create volume failed", e);
                }
            }
            throw new CloudRuntimeException("create volume failed even after 
template re-deploy");
    }
    ````
    
    To preserve this logic is that I've passed caught exception message on 
thrown exception in line 1587. Do you agree with this solution?
