We can hit issues with corrupted VHDs if we copy a VHD while XenServer is performing other operations. This happens because there are times when we copy the VHD chains while XenServer is still performing a coalesce of the VHD chain. In most cases, vhd-util should be able to safely repair any metadata corruption. It can copy the copy of the VHD footer at the front of the VHD file and add it at the bottom on the VHD file. There is no VM data loss, due to the way the coalesce happens, but the chain will be bigger than it would be both before and after the coalesce. This does not, however, ensure that snapshots are valid before uploading them to glance. But should you launch a corrupted snapshot, this change would fix up the snapshot, and allow it to boot correctly. Closes-Bug: #1362595 Change-Id: I88b737d7e97964a9db5ccf2c39dea7fd0701ead4
This directory contains files that are required for the XenAPI support. They should be installed in the XenServer / Xen Cloud Platform dom0. If you install them manually, you will need to ensure that the newly added files are executable. You can do this by running the following command (from dom0): chmod a+x /etc/xapi.d/plugins/*
