Thanks Alena, So destroying an already stopped VM is just updating CloudStack DB without interacting with hypervisor, do we send hypervisor command when we expunge the destroyed VM? Thanks -min On 10/16/12 9:54 AM, "Alena Prokharchyk" wrote: >Forgot to mention: if Destroy command is called on v

Forgot to mention: if Destroy command is called on vm in Running state, cloudStack: * Stops vm on the backend (just the way we do when StopVm command is executed, so you no longer see the vm on the hypervisor) * marks vm as Destroyed in the DB. On 10/16/12 9:53 AM, "Alena Prokharchyk" wrote: >O

In CloudStack, stop means to power off the VM (with a force optional), destroy means to delete the VM. It's sort of confusing, because 'destroy' tends to mean 'force shut down' in KVM/libvirt and Xen rather than deleting. On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Min Chen wrote: > Thanks Lee for clarifi

It's by design, when you stop a VM (advanceStop() in VirtualMachineManagerImpl) in CloudStack UI, it will delete all the vm metadata info from xenserver database, it will reconstruct the vm profile to xenserver db when you start again (advanceStart() in VirtualMachineManagerImpl). It's easy to kee

Stop instance is destroying my VM

2012-10-15 Thread Min Chen
Hi there, What did we internally invoke when user is stopping VM instance from CloudStack UI? It seems that it did more than shutdown VM from XenCenter. After this operation, my VM disappeared from XenCenter console. If I manually do shutdown from XenCenter UI, I can see that my
