Re: [Xen-API] Can't Start any VM's from NFS Repository

["Juan Lorenzana" <juan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am really not sure.  I know that I destroyed the pool when the storage
guys asked me to.  Then I created a new pool.  Once I did that it looked
like all the host came back without me having to add them.

I wondered if the pool really never got destroyed.  The storage was
acting so bad that I wondered if it tried but did not really do it.  If
I remember correctly, I restarted the master because things got hung so
when it came up, I tried again to delete the pool and it did it.  Within
10 seconds I had created a new pool and the hosts we already in it.

Sorry, I misunderstood your previous post and posted to devel.  :-(

Yes, the master stores all metadata for the pool. Perhaps I'm confused
what you mean by "destroyed the pool". It sounded like you just wiped
all the hosts and started fresh.

I'm pretty sure that XenCenter wouldn't show you individual VHD files
anyway, just the logical VDIs. If you really want to see the VHD files,
you can look in dom0 at /var/run/sr-mount/<sr-uuid>, but I'm not sure
how useful it will be to see what VHD files there are.

No, don't do that. That list is for hypervisor development; they don't
care/know about XCP there, and will just sent you back here.
