Get VM from <ID>.vhd from Storage-Record

[fluffy-bunny]

Hi there!

Our customer creates the Disc-Images of its VMs on the Local Storage Record under /run/sr-mount/<ID>/<ID_of_Disk_Image>.vhd. ...

This path is also mounted in XOA... Now I wanna get the specified VM for the matchig disk-Image. How can I get this with xe-commands?

I can't find the concerned VM to a spcial Disk-Image.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's unclear. What do you want to achieve exactly? Functionally speaking.

Hi!

I want to get the respective VM to an VHD (Disk) File. Hops that's clearer...

But why? What's the purpose? What do you want to achieve in the end?

I wanna know which Disk from which VM needs more space because we've an Disk-Alert on the SR in our Monitoring and I wanna know the exact VM.
But when I hover ofer the Disks from the VMs in XOA I can't find the respective VM.

Just go in the SR view the, you'll see all disks. It's easy to spot the biggest disk. So I'm not sure to understand the issue?

@fluffy-bunny Use this to get your VBDs from each VM

xe vm-param-get param-name=VBDs uuid=<vm-uuid>

Then to get the name of each VDI file use this

xe vbd-param-get param-name=vdi-uuid uuid=<vbd-uuid>

But as olivier said, it is much easier to just use XO's disk view of the VM you want, then use the "copy" button to copy its VDI name.
