Hi, all:

I am in a situation that I need some help:

I did a live migration with storage migration required for a production VM instance from one cluster to another.  The first migration attempt failed after some time, but the second attempt succeeded. During all this time the VM instance is accessible (and it is still up and running).  However, when I use my api script to query volumes, it still reports that the volume is on the old cluster’s primary storage.  If I shut down this VM,  I am afraid that it won’t start again as it would try to use non-existing volumes.

Checking database, sure enough, the DB still has old info about these volumes:


mysql> select id,name from storage_pool where id=1 or id=8;

+----+------------------+

| id | name             |

+----+------------------+

|  1 | abprod-primary1  |

|  8 | abprod-p1c2-pri1 |

+----+------------------+

2 rows in set (0.01 sec)


Here the old cluster’s primary storage has id=1, and the new cluster’s primary storage has id=8.


Here are the entries with wrong info in volumes table:


mysql> select id,name, uuid, path,pool_id, removed from volumes where name='ROOT-97' or name='DATA-97';

+-----+---------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+---------+---------------------+

| id  | name    | uuid                                 | path                                 | pool_id | removed             |

+-----+---------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+---------+---------------------+

4 rows in set (0.01 sec)

On the xenserver of old cluster, the volumes do not exist:


[root@abmpc-hv01 ~]# xe vdi-list name-label='ROOT-97'

[root@abmpc-hv01 ~]# xe vdi-list name-label='DATA-97'

[root@abmpc-hv01 ~]#

But the volumes are on the new cluster’s primary storage:


[root@abmpc-hv04 ~]# xe vdi-list name-label=ROOT-97

            sharable ( RO): false

           read-only ( RO): true


Following is how I plan to fix the corrupted DB entries. Note: using uuid of VDI volume with read/write access as the path values:


1. for ROOT-97 volume:

Update volumes set removed=NOW() where id=124;
Update volumes set removed=NULL where id=317;
Update volumes set path=c46b7a61-9e82-4ea1-88ca-692cd4a9204b where id=317;


2) for DATA-97 volume:

Update volumes set pool_id=8 where id=125;

Update volumes set path=bc868e3d-b3c0-4c6a-a6fc-910bc4dd1722 where id=125;


Would this work?


Thanks for all the helps anyone can provide.  I have a total of 4 VM instances with 8 volumes in this situation need to be fixed.
