What are Unhealthy VDIs, Orphan VDIs, VDIs attached to Control Domain?
-
After clicking on dashboard > health, a myriad of entries appear under under all three of these :
Unhealthy VDIs, Orphan VDIs, VDIs attached to Control Domain.I'm sure it seems obvious but what are they and can they be deleted? The VM's all have successful recent backups and none of the VM's have active snapshots.
Thanks!

Start to unplug all VDIs attached to the Control Domain (Dom0). This might trigger coalesce and clean many VDIs already.

I clicked "forget" under all the SRs under VDIs attached to Control Domain and they immediately populated under Orphan VDIsTwo have this message "January 17, 2024 at 8:10 PM (last month)"
and one has this "February 19, 2024 at 8:10 PM (10 days ago)".One of the VM's SR's occurs with both the January 17, 2024 at 8:10 PM as well as the February 19, 2024 at 8:10 PM date.
Under Unhealthy VDIs there is still one VM listed (also in the list above).

Now you should have VDI to coalesce, this will take a bit and it's visible in your SR/advanced view.

Thanks!I found out that the ones where nothing was happening would complete (and leave the Unhealthy VDI section) if I did a snapshot of the vm and then immediately deleted the snapshot.

Coalesce isn't instant, and yes, as soon you remove a snapshot, there's some work to do from the storage perspective
