[one-users] OpenNebula 3.8.3 Failed to Delete VM on ESXi Host

[Michael Curran]

I am using 4.0.1 and it deletes the files, but does not remove the created disk.X.iso or created directory -- I have to delete those by hand as well 
Same for image uploads that do not go correctly, if I delete them the internal files are removed , but directories remain.

>From what I understand , there are some improvements coming with VMware interaction and improved drivers with 4.2 

I just have not heard the official (or even guestimated) release date for 4.2 yet , so I can upgrade and test these functions.

Subject: [one-users] OpenNebula 3.8.3 Failed to Delete VM on ESXi Host

Hi,

I am running OpenNebula 3.8.3 with VMFS. However, I am not able to delete the VM files from the ESXi Host, although the VM seems to be deleted from OpenNebula.

My setup is that I have an image DS 102, and a system DS 103. When trying to delete a VM, I can see that OpenNebula is trying to delete the VM image from DS 102 rather than 103. I look into ~/var/remotes/tm/vmfs/delete, and manually change the DSID to 103 (this is not a good fix), and now OpenNebula is trying to delete the VM images from DS 103, which is correct. However, the delete script was not able to delete the files, still!

I look into ~/var/vms/$VMID/vm.log, and the log says that it was not able to delete disk-flat.vmdk on the ESXi box.

I look into /vmfs/volumes/103/$VMID/disk.0, and found that the two VMDK files have rw permissions for root user and no permissions for others, and other files have rw permissons for root user and r permission for group members and guest.

I log into the ESXi box, and was able to delete the files with root users.

In ~/etc/vmwarerc I have the root username and password.

What could be wrong? Do I miss some executable permissions on the ESXi box?

Please help.

Chen Xiang
