Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.6 can't attach existing disk to VM

[Åukasz Nowak <lukasz.nowak@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi
we have the same issue as in previos message (vdi is attached to control domain 
and it can't be deleted, resized, etc.)
The execution of vbd-unplug ends with error:
Storage_interface.Internal_error("Storage_access.No_VDI")

in xensource.log:
xapi: [debug|evmprap28|100582 UNIX /var/xapi/xapi||cli] 
Xapi_cli.exception_handler: Got exception INTERNAL_ERROR: [ 
Storage_interface.Internal_error("Storage_access.No_VDI") ]

Is there a way to resolve this problem?
