Hi,

You should only use 'reset-power-state' on VMs which have failed e.g. if the 
host has failed. If the VMs are still running then you shouldn't do this - if 
you start a VM twice then there is a high chance of disk corruption.

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: XCP / xenAPI shows no vms but vm is still running

Hi

I tried the case when the node - said "P" is unreachable by interface down - 
so, we restart Vms of that machine to another machine by
doing reset-power-state first and call vms to start at other machine said node 
"A"

However when the problem node "P"  is up again - xenAPI shows that there is no 
Vm running on it-   Which is wrong, Vms should be running.
I tested this by stop the vm on "A"  to start that vm on the "P" - "P" 
complains that

[r...@quindecim ~]# xe vm-start vm=ken-debian-vm-2 on=quindecim
The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error.  The given 
message may give details useful for debugging the problem.
message: Failure("The VDI 57a82bd4-a889-42ff-94d3-479a2618f2ec is already 
attached in RW mode; it can't be attached in RO mode!")

After I reboot the node, vm can start.  So, is there any way I can detect that 
VMs are currently running on the "P" problem machine?

after the Vms relocated to other machine, info from XenAPI showed that that 
machine has no VMs ( which is incorrect!)

Thanks
