From what you described, it doesn't seem to me, at least initially,
that you have an issue in libvirt. On Power systems, you need some
user space tools installed in the guest in order to correctly
perform hot plug and hot unplug operations. It may be the case that
the tools that come installed by default in Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu
16.04 are just too old. Please, check the versions of the following
packages:<span class="ph filepath"> powerpc-utils, ppc64_diag, and
librtas.<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers,<br class="">

<div class="">I am hitting a silent error while trying to detach a
volume from a running VM on Ubuntu Xenial KVM. While I am
using OpenStack for this, the OpenStack code is calling into
the libvirt module to do the detach from the transient /
live domain and libvirt is failing to remove the disk from
the running domain and is not putting any errors in libvirtd
logs.</div>
<div class="">The OpenStack error is "DeviceDetachFailed: Device detach
failed for vdb: Unable to detach from guest transient
domain."</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I have discovered this is a guest OS issue. I tried the
following guest OSes with Ubuntu Xenial as the host OS:</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Silent detach failure / fail to detach:<br class="">
Ubuntu 14.04 ppc64le daily build of Ubuntu cloud image<br class="">
Ubuntu 16.04 ppc64le daily build of Ubuntu cloud image</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Live detach succeeds:<br class="">
Ubuntu 16.10 ppc64le daily build of Ubuntu cloud image<br class="">
Ubuntu 17.04 ppc64le daily build of Ubuntu cloud image<br class="">
CentOS 7.3</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">What I am trying to achieve is to get the live detach to
work on Xenial (16.04) and am at a loss as to what packages
or processes may be involved in the differences between
16.04 and 16.10 where it works. I have checked the kernel
and both 16.04 and 16.10 are both using a 4.8.x level.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">In all cases the disk trying to be detached is not in
use. They are blank with no file system on them. They are
not mounted. The same set of steps is taken to attach,
reboot, detach, between the working and non-working OS
levels above.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Does any one have hints on what could be causing the
silent detach failure on Xenial? What packages I should
look at updating beyond what the Ubuntu daily build has?
Note I have already tried doing upgrade of all packages,
including updating from a recent UCA repo.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Additionally, does anyone know what to set (and where) to
get the reason libvirt is not detaching the volume from the
live domain? I have already tried enabling the logging
documented here [1].</div>
