[Users] Disk state - Illegal?
Hi, I have another hopefully simple question. One VM that I am trying to remove says that it's disk state is "illegal" and when I try to remove the disk it says that it failed to initiate the removing of the disk. Is there an easy way to get rid of these illegal disk images? Dan
I noticed that too, I wasn't sure if it was a bug or just how I had setup my NFS share.. There were three steps I did to remove the disk images, I'm sure there's a 100% easier solution..: I found the easiest way (graphically) was go to your https://ovirtengine/api/disks and so a search for the illegal disk. Append the extra ID eg. <disk href="/api/disks/lk342-dfsdf... into your URL this'll give you your image ID. Go to your storage share: cd /data/storage-id/master/vms/storage-id grep -ir 'vmname' * You'll find the image-id reference here too. Then the image you will want to remove is in the /data/storage-id/images/image-id I assume you could safely remove this whole folder if you wanted to delete the disk. To remove the illegal state I did it through the API so again with the URL above https://ovirtengine/disks/disk-id send a DELETE using HTTP/CURL Again, this was a poor mans solution but it worked for me.

I was off today, so I just saw this. I will try it out tomorrow. Thanks! Dan On 9/25/2013 8:53 PM, Andrew Lau wrote:

I was just wondering, did anyone ever find the root cause of this issue? Mine still seems to be doing the same thing, is it a permission issue or a bug? On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 12:28 PM, Dan Ferris <dferris@prometheusresearch.com

Hi, Disk will be in illegal status in case that ovirt failed to initiate the delete task for it, as the engine can't tell what's the exact disk state at this stage (on what phase the delete operation has failed) - the disk status is shown is illegal. Therefore there might be many possible reasons, each issue that will fail the creation of the delete task would cause the disk to remain in that status (along permissions issues) The disk deletion won't succeed till those issues would be resolved.
Mine still seems to be doing the same thing, is it a permission issue or a bug?

Could someone post me their disk permissions? -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 3070820352 Sep 25 09:53 b36e838a-15d4-4058-84d4-bfe19988bcbc My engine.log doesn't report anything and nor does my audit.log. I need to destroy about 10+ VMs and not really keen on doing the whole disk deletion and db removal process manually. Cheers. On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 6:19 PM, Liron Aravot <laravot@redhat.com> wrote:
