robert wild1709160729 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 hi all, once i have done this https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX207574 obviously it will unlock the VDI from the control domain/DOM0 VBD once its unlocked it and i run a re-scan of the SR, will it delete the orphaned VDI, or do i need to do that manually? thanks, rob Link to comment
0 Alan Lantz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 From what I know a coalesce just resolves a vdi back to a base copy. An orphaned vdi would be one that doesn't have any VBD's connecting it anywhere. So I don't think a coalesce will remove orphans. --Alan-- 1 Link to comment
0 Alan Lantz Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think that VBD is just between the control domain and the VM and there is no VDI that would needed removal. --Alan-- Link to comment
0 robert wild1709160729 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 But I thought the vm connects to the vdi via the vbd so- VM-vbd-vdi So there's going to be an orphan vdi, isn't there? Link to comment
0 Alan Lantz Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Yea, your right. I'm thinking of something else. In this case its the control domain (Dom0) that is attached to your disk (vdi) that you are getting rid of the VBD that connects them. --Alan-- Link to comment
0 robert wild1709160729 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 think i have found the solution - http://deepix.github.io/2017/02/01/xsvdi.html Link to comment
0 robert wild1709160729 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 but would i need to do this or when the next vdi coalesce will happen, it will auto delete the orphan vdi? thanks Link to comment
