I'd like to highlight one of our KB articles that is getting some traction with our Horizon View customers. The issue can occur if the ADAM database contains an invalid entry for a persistent disk.
Symptoms:
- Attempting to import the disk from vCenter Server fails with the error:
This disk is already managed by View
- Cannot detach a Persistent User Data Disk in View Manager.
- Cannot import a Persistent Disk from vCenter Server for a virtual machine that was deleted in View Administrator.
- The Persistent disk is visible when the option to show incompatible files is selected.
If you are encountering any of these symptoms in your environment, please refer to KB article: Cannot detach a Persistent Disk in View Manager 4.5 and later (2007076). The article has a 5 star customer rating.
Note: This KB contains two Warnings. Be sure you completely understand the article, and as always check that your backups are working and are valid.
