Citrix Systems 5.6 Vdi-destroy, Vdi-forget, Vdi-import, Vdi-introduce, Vdi-resize, Vdi-snapshot

allocated SR does become full, disk space must be made available either on the SR target substrate or by deleting unused VDIs in the SR.

Note:

Some SR types might round up the virtual-sizevalue to make it divisible by a configured block size.

vdi-destroy

vdi-destroy uuid=<uuid_of_vdi>

Destroy the specified VDI.

Note:

In the case of Local VHD and NFS SR types, disk space is not immediately released on vdi-destroy, but periodically during a storage repository scan operation. Users that need to force deleted disk space to be made available should call sr-scanmanually.

vdi-forget

vdi-forget uuid=<uuid_of_vdi>

Unconditionally removes a VDI record from the database without touching the storage backend. In normal operation, you should be using vdi-destroyinstead.

vdi-import

vdi-importuuid=<uuid_of_vdi> filename=<filename_of_raw_vdi>

Import a raw VDI.

vdi-introduce

vdi-introduce uuid=<uuid_of_vdi> sr-uuid=<uuid_of_sr_to_import_into>name-label=<name_of_the_new_vdi>type=<system user suspend crashdump> location=<device_location_(varies_by_storage_type)> [name-description=<description_of_vdi>] [sharable=<yes no>]

[read-only=<yes no>] [other-config=<map_to_store_misc_user_specific_data>] [xenstore-data=<map_to_of_additional_xenstore_keys>] [sm-config<storage_specific_configuration_data>]

Create a VDI object representing an existing storage device, without actually modifying or creating any storage. This command is primarily used internally to automatically introduce hot-plugged storage devices.

vdi-resize

vdi-resizeuuid=<vdi_uuid> disk-size=<new_size_for_disk>

Resize the VDI specified by UUID.

vdi-snapshot

vdi-snapshotuuid=<uuid_of_the_vdi> [driver-params=<params>]
