[Xen-API] RE: XCP / xenAPI shows no vms but vm is still running
Hi,
Xapi considers a VM to be “resident-on” one host at a time. It
sounds like you’re interested in which *domains* are running on the host
(each domain has the same UUID as the corresponding VM). Have a look at the
command “list_domains”. If some domains need cleaned up it’s possible to run
commands like “/opt/xensource/debug/destroy_domain –domid <domid>”
HTH,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Since the current XCP didnot provide Fault Tolerant and HA yet, we tried to
write a simple monitoring where we ping the node and check
if this node is unreachable - for whatever reason - could be network connection
down or could be physical hardware etc...
we will disconnect this problem node out of XCP network by filter
traffic from this node to storage network and other nodes -using iptables
filtering and we want to quickly move Vms to start at other mahines -
Therefore,we need to use reset-power-state
However, since we keep monitoring this node - the node could be back up again.
That time we want to find a way to check if VMs running - but XCP
showed that VMs not there - but actually VMs still there.
Can you please suggest a way to find out if VMs running on machine or not ? XCP
will fail to show this - I am wondering is there anyway we can detect
VMs running on OS?
Please let me know
Thanks

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
[root@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
