Re: [Xen-API] Force shutdown VM

[Sébastien RICCIO <sr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have such problem sometimes and usually i get the vm list with "xl 
list" and then destroy it with "xl destroy", then i restart the xapi 
service.
Sometimes it works well. Sometimes you then can't start the vm anymore 
because he says the vdi is attached.
But after fighting with xe vdi-detach and such commands you can get it 
running again.
Cheers,
Sébastien
