Unable to delete server from pool

We are in the proces of upgrading oure OVM farm from 3.2.8 >> 3.3.1 (10 servers)
The management server is allready upgraded to 3.3.1 + MySQL and we started on the servers last week.
After reinstalling the first server we tried to add it to the pool. This job was completed succesfully.
But the server suddenly showed as no owned / not in ownership status. We tried the "edit server" setting and marked the "Take Ownership of Server" box and used the OVM Agent password.
This job runs and the server is showing as owned and the job results are succefull!!
This status stay's for about 5 seconds and then the server is "locked" again and the status changed to "not owned" status (blue server icon) again however there is no mention of this job in the logs??
We tried to remove the server from the pool again. This won't work because the server is not owned by the pool / cluster anymore.
But for some reason now the server is still in the pool / cluster and is showing as owned by the cluster (green icon) but it is locked. Any job for this server will fail with the following error,
GEN_000002:No object of type Server with id null(34:35:39:35:32:39:5a:43:4a:32:32:31:30:4c:34:53), is currently in the db.
We can't do anything with this server anymore, we can't delete it either.
Because if this issue we halted the 3.2.8 >> 3.3.1 server migrations.
Really stuck now on how to fix this one.
Logging on the ovmm server and the node server don't show at all why it can't delete this server other then error "No object of type Server with id null(34:35:39:35:32:39:5a:43:4a:32:32:31:30:4c:34:53), is currently in the db"

Quick update,
Last weekend we tried to upgrade our non production OVM cluster (8 nodes)
The OVM manager upgrade (3.2.9 to 3.3.1) went fine the OVM servers on the other hand.....
We used the ./UpgradeServers.py script and repository's on the OVM management server.
The upgrade of the OVM server itself went fine. After the reboot the server comes back online and then switches to UNOWNED status with an cluster status of UNKNOWN.
There is no way set ownership of the server as happened before. Also doing anything at all with the server is not possible because the server node is UNOWNED.
When re-installing the server node from scratch with OVM 3.3.1 it works BUT the server must not be removed from the cluster.
Best solution I think is,
1: Shutodown ALL vm's in the cluster.
2: Unpresent ALL storage to cluster nodes
3: Remove ALL cluster nodes (ovm servers) from cluster.
4: Clean install OVM 3.3.x on ALL servers
5: Add servers to cluster
6: Present ALL storage to cluster nodes again
7: Start VM's
We are going to test this solution in the next 2 weeks.
I'll post any updates

  • Can not delete server from pool

    Ok.....I think I'm on a sinking ship.....
    I want to start from scratch.....deleting the SAN servers, server pool, everything and start over.....
    however, I can not remove any servers from the pool because the manager thinks their in an error state. I rebooted on of the servers and it came up just fine. The manager is just messed up!
    So how can I remove the server in an error state?
    Is there a way to bring the manager back to where I started discovering the servers? Please don't say re-install or I will have to start looking for a rope.

    I have barley got the system off the ground and am now facing a "re-install". With the problems that I am having and others I see on this forum....makes it look like this is still a beta product.
    A system in production should not have to be "re-installed" to solve a problem....or that someone needs to do something at the OS level to do a fix. The manager should have the ability to "go back to factory defaults", do backups and restores of its data (not relying on backups/restores of the Oracle database).
    I have a great 'rock sturdy" reliable system right now.....but is dated and I need to upgrade hardware. I need something as reliable to replace it.....
    I guess I am just frusterated that their are some major bugs down deep that need to be addressed.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

    Hello,
    We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
    you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
    They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
    I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
    I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
    file.
    I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
    Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

    Hello Bria,
    What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
    Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
    There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items: 
    User
    Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
    Hide these specified drives in My Computer
    Prevent access to specified drives in My
    Computer
    There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
    I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Unable to delete rows from Target.

    Hello everyone,
    I am unable to delete rows from target data store. Here is what I have done.
    Source Oracle 10g - staging 11g - Target Oracle 11g
    I have implemented consistent set CDC on data model in staging and added 2 tables to CDC and turned on the journals . Both tables A and B are joined together via Column E (primary key of table A). Table A is the master table(has foreign key). Table B is child table. Target column consists of all the columns of both table A and B.
    Following is what I am able to do and not to do
    ABLE TO DO. If data is inserted into both or any of journalized tables I can successfully load the same in target by performing following steps. 1. Extend the consistency window at model level. Lock subscriber. Run the interface with any source table marked as Journalized data only. Unlock subscriber and purge journal.
    ABLE TO DO. If data is updated in any of the journalized table, along with the steps mentioned above I can execute two interfaces. In one Interface table A marked as journalized data only Joined with table B and in second interface table B marked as Journalized data only joined to table a.
    NOT ABLE TO DO If data is deleted from one or both tables it shows up as journalized data in JV$D<tablename> marked as D with date and subscriber name but when i run the interface by extending the window , locking subscriber executing both interfaces, unlock subscriber purge journals. no change takes place is Target. After unlocking subscriber step, journalized data gets removed from JV$D view. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. How can rows delted from source can also be deleted from TARGET?
    NOTE : In the flow table SYNC_JRNL_DELETES is YES
    In moel under jounalized table tab Table have following order Table A folloed by Table B
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry I still do not get it. when you say "Its a legacy app", are you talking about the VB.NET app ?
    If so then I repeat my self :-) Why not to connecting to the SQL server directly?
    * even if you need information from several databases (for example ACCESS + SQL Server), in most cases, it is much better to connect directly and get each information to the app. Then in your app you can combine the information and analyse it

  • Unable to delete files from powerpoint

    I just installed MS office for iPad. I am experiencing an annoying problem with Powerpoint. When I download and open a file from OneDrive, oftentimes I am subsequently unable to delete it from within the iPad powerpoint program. I get a message that the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I am able to delete the file from OneDrive on my computer no problem, but it remains on the iPad. Clearing the file cache from settings does not do the trick. I have to uninstall and reinstall powerpoint to get rid of the undeletable files. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

  • Unable to delete emails from care4free using thunderbird

    I have just bought an imac and have transfered my thunderbird account from my old pc. I am unable to delete messages from my care4free POP account. Anyone help with this please?

    Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail
    folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the
    application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done
    automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail
    folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important
    on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email.
    If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient
    the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

  • Unable to delete photo from ipad

    When I first got my ipad, I synced s photo from My Pictures.  I am unable to delete it from the ipad by using the delete option.  How do I get it off my ipad?

    Go to the folder on your computer that those synced photos are in. Move those photos elsewhere then sync and the photos will go away.
    Alternatively you can connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Click on the name of your device and navigate to the photos tab. Choose a different folder or deselect any folder then sync. Your device will replace the photos on your device with what's in that other folder, or simply remove them all together if you deselect all photos syncing.
    Given the difficulty of removing synced photos, I stopped syncing photos a long time ago. Instead if I want photos on my iPad I'll just mail them to myself...or you can use any number of photos apps that have the ability to sync/share data, or upload them to something like dropbox and then download them onto your device. Downloaded or saved photos can be deleted from inside the photos app.

  • Unable to delete videos from my iad

    I am unable to delete videos from my ipad.  When I go to Settings - Usage - Storage; the video section will show up as no data in it even if it has multiple videos downloaded from itunes in it.  I am using iOS 7.0.4 on a new iPad mini Retina 64GB.  I am seeing the same problem on my iPhone 5S. 

    I was puzzled by this since ios7 I waited for  7.1 and thought it was fixed as it seems to go away. Now its back in 8.0 and 8.0.2.
    It seems somewhat related to incomplete accounting of downloaded video and music too on the device and applying to storage left on device as these two icons are not showing up under usage in settings, even with show all selected.
    Here is what I did:
    Go to "Videos" under settings, turn off "show all videos", this will show only videos that presumably are on your device.
    Go to Videos" app and you should see video that is presumably downloaded to device, select the cloud icon and as unintuitive as it seems, download the video as if it is not already on the device.
    When one or all of your videos finish, go to "Settings", "General", "Usage", you will see an increase in available storage.
    While there, select "Manage Storage" and "Videos" should show up in usage and an amount of MB or GB.
    Select "Videos" under storage and your videos will present. Select "Edit" in upper right corner.
    Select red "minus symbol", delete.
    As you do this you will see more and more of your devices storage coming back in available storage.
    This is similar to or is a memory leak issue that needs to be addressed. It apparently hasn't yet.
    The same process works with Music. I haven't seen this as an issue in dealing with apps.

  • Unable to delete photos from my ipad2 .

    I am unable to delete photos from my ipad2. I am able to select the photos to delete but when I press the red delete button nothing happens. Is anyone else having this experience? Is there a known problem. Is there a solution?

    You don't say what type of photos - were they taken with the iPad or synced from your computer ?
    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (if you were able to delete them directly on the iPad, then the next time you synced photos they would be put back onto the iPad, unless you remembered to also remove them from your computer).
