Description of problem: When one removes a disk from a VM the event is not logged into the VM Events subtab. Pretty odd, problematic to understand history actions on such VM. ~~~ ... The disk fff_Disk1 was successfully added to VM fff. Add-Disk operation of fff_Disk1 was initiated on VM fff by admin@internal-authz. Disk fff_Disk1 was successfully removed from domain jb-rhevm40 (User user1.com.com). (2631 rows) ~~~ There must be obviously missing some "glue" between this disk and the VM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-backend-4.0.5.5-0.1.el7ev.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a VM with a disk, not running 2. remove the disk from VM's Disk subtab -> Remove 3. monitor Events subtab Actual results: missing any info about VM's disk removal Expected results: should be there, it does make sense Additional info:
applies to User Portal as well, it was in fact discovered there
This behavior is intentional since the problem in this case is that a disk can be attached to multiple VMs at the same time, so it doesn't make much sense to log all the VMs it is attached to at the time of deletion. On the other hand logging only the VM from the deletion "content" (i.e. if we are deleting from a specific VM disks tab) doesn't make much sense as it gives partial data.
After an offline discussion with QE it has been decided that if the disk was attached to VMs at the time of removal the event log will be changed to something similar to: Disk ${DiskAlias} associated to VMs ${VmNames} was successfully removed from domain ${StorageDomainName}”
