------------------------------------------
Summary: [VMware] Volume attachment intermittently fails with 'A
specified parameter was not correct' error.
Key: CLOUDSTACK-7072
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7072
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: VMware, Volumes
Affects Versions: 4.4.0
Reporter: Likitha Shetty
Assignee: Likitha Shetty
Fix For: 4.5.0
Today, while attaching a new disk to an instance the unit number on the
controller key chosen for the disk is 1 digit higher than the highest unit
number that is currently in use.
Hence we could run into potential volume attach failures. If we try to attach
15 or more volumes to the same instance and call attach and detach in fast
succession it will result in us calling disk attach for a disk before the
detach of the volume on the controller key with the highest unit number. In
this case every volume will get a unit number that is one more than the
highest, even though the lower unit numbers are not in use. So CS will try to
attach the 15th data volume with SCSI id 16 even though the lower unit numbers
are not in use and this attach will fail because there are only 16 devices on a
SCSI bus.
