Github user karuturi commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/660#issuecomment-128250223 if we dont persist the deviceId at the time of generation, as you said multiple calls around the same time will still get the same id and the attach would fail (which would bring back the original problem). which is why I think, its better to persist the deviceId as soon as we generate and move the generation of deviceID logic to GlobalLlock. something like: ``` - deviceId = getDeviceId(vmId, deviceId); + GlobalLock lock =GlobalLock.getInternLock("Get-DeviceId-VM-" + vmId); + try { + if (lock.lock(120)) { + try { + deviceId = getDeviceId(vmId, deviceId); + _volsDao.updateDeviceId(volumeId, vmId, deviceId); + } finally { + lock.unlock(); + } + } + } finally { + lock.releaseRef(); + } ``` ``` - return attachVolumeToVM(command.getVirtualMachineId(), command.getId(), command.getDeviceId()); + try { + return attachVolumeToVM(command.getVirtualMachineId(), command.getId(), command.getDeviceId()); + } catch(Exception e) { + _volsDao.updateDeviceId(command.getId(), null, null); + throw e; + } ```
