I am running ovirt 3.3.2 and gluster 3.4 and recently had a pretty catastrophic failure of my small 3 node cluster. Long story short I lost the disk to a VM and decided to delete (start over with) now magically re-appears as "external-vmname". When I attempt to delete it again, it deletes, but then shows up some time later. If I try to run the vm I get the following popup error in the ovirt admin ui: ------------------------------------------------ Error while executing action: external-vmname: Cannot run VM. This VM is not managed by the engine. ------------------------------------------------ Has anyone seen this before? Any pointers on where to look for more information? -- Patrick Pierson

It looks like the qemu process is still running on your host. can you see which host the VM is running on? can you try to log in the host and check if there are any qemu processes running there. regards, Maor On 06/17/2014 01:32 PM, Pat Pierson wrote:

Maor, Thanks for the response. I only have 14 qemu processes and all are properly named to VMs I am tracking in the ovirt admin ui. Is there a posibility that the ovirt admin ui is still tracking it somehow? On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 7:53 AM, Maor Lipchuk <mlipchuk@redhat.com> wrote:

I had this issue a long time ago also. (something like that anyway :-) ). community solved this for me with this answer: select vds_id from vds_static where vds_name='<Name>'; If you get a vds_id value (lets mark it as <vds_id>) , perform from psql prompt:
select DeleteVdsStatic('<vds_id>');
