"Xenserver 8" with PVS Accelerator showing Full Orphan VDIs
-
PVS Accelerator in the Citrix product uses tmpfs / MemorySR VDIs to cache disk blocks in Dom0 RAM for use with their Provisioning Services product.
It might be worth hiding them in XOA for Xenserver users since these will always show "Orphaned" and "Full".
You can see these under "Dashboard" --> "Health"
"Name" and "Description" is always "PVS cache VDI"

Hi @infecticide, the fix for this issue has been been merged and will be available in the next release (5.100.1)

Indeed, can you show the detailed VDI record? (

Okay so indeed there's 0 info outside a specific name/description. I suppose this can't be changed right?
-
@olivierlambert no, other than the size parameter this is all configured automatically by the PVS Accelerator software in Xencenter / Xenserver 8.
I suspect all you have to determine it's identity is:
If (name-label -AND name-description eq "PVS cache VDI"); then "hide"
-
Issue created, we should have a fix for a next release (likely September release)
