Remove a disk of an external repository | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Using Nutanix API, I detached a disk from a VM by just specifying device_bus and device_index.  The disk was attached from a passthru external repository.  After detaching the disk, I tries to delete the external repository, I got the following response message from delete external repository API:

"The external repository hsing-ahv-test-repo hosts some virtual disks that are still in use"

I could not delete the external repository.  So, I deleted the VM, but still I could not delete the external repository. 

Any way to remove the virtual disk and delete the external repository?

Thanks

I seem to have this as well and am also interested if this was resolved or if anyone knows the issue?

Nutanix holds datasources for some time after they are deleted, and that causes related external repositories to stay active.  Nutanix performs the actual deletion of datasources few times a day.  So, the datasources will be deleted eventually.  But, the deletion of external repositories is not automatic, and those external repositories must be deleted manually.
