We use NFS as shared storage, and have faced some "VDI not available" issues with our VMs. I haven't been able to start a VM with the method of that URL in XCP 1.6 (in 1.1 and 1.5 beta worked). What worked for me:
- Detach the VDI from the VM - Detach and forget the SR where the VDI is stored - Reattach the forgotten SR (create new SR, give the same info that the detached SR, re-use the SR-UUID, ...) - Reattach the VDI to the VM El 24/07/2013, a las 21:10, hook escribió: > Past weekend (as usual O_o) we have experienced the issue in our XCP 1.6 > production pool. > Shared iSCSI storage was shutted down due to misconfigured UPS settings > while XCP servers continued to work. > > When storage was returned to working state and reconnected to pool most VM > did not boot with the same message - VDI is not available. > Googling give me mentioned above method - forgot and reconnect VDI. > Result was even worser - the whole SR become unusable. > Storage rescan gazered lot of errors like bad header on LVM and many other. > > Finally i've disconnect failed SR from pool, connect it back and SR become > healthy (it looks so).
