Media Manager states Virtual disk is attached to VM, when actually removed -> invalid

Reported by: Ernie S Owned by:

Description

The Media Manager is probably not properly updated when a virtual harddisk (vmdk) is removed from a VM. Operations with VBoxManager on the vdisk fail because it erroneously detects that it is attached to the VM.

2 hours later:

Discovered that detaching a disk from SATA is not enough if there are snapshots where it still is attached. Removing the snapshots is a lot of work (not cutting XML corners, using the Media Manager), especially when the parent VMDK is made read-only (for safety. I just want to operate on a diff disk)). But when done, the Media Manager correctly states the the vdisk is no longer attached. The new technique I use is unregistering the VM. Do my thing with VBoxmanage - making an extra new diff for the same parent vdisk. And register the VM back again.

But guys, what a lot of tedious work, those kind of operations should be made easier !!!
