The disk scheduler can be adjusted using the following command:
The disk scheduler can be adjusted using the following command:

Note:
This will not effect EqualLogic, NetApp or NFS storage.
Automatically Reclaiming Space When Deleting Snapshots
When deleting snapshots with XenServer 6.0, all allocated space allocated on LVM-based SRs is reclaimed
automatically and a VM reboot is not required; this is referred to as Online Coalescing.

Note:
Online Coalescing only applies to LVM-based SRs (LVM, LVMoISCSI, and LVMoHBA), it does
not apply to EXT or NFS SRs, whose behaviour remains unchanged.

In certain cases, automated space reclamation may be unable to proceed, in these cases it is
advisable to use the Off Line Coalesce tool:
advisable to use the Off Line Coalesce tool:
• Under conditions where a VM I/O throughput is considerable
• In conditions where space is not being reclaimed after a period of time
• In conditions where space is not being reclaimed after a period of time
Note:
Running the Off Line Coalesce tool will incur some downtime for the VM, due to the suspend/
resume operations performed.

Before running the tool, delete any snapshots and clones you no longer want; the script
will reclaim as much space as possible given the remaining snapshots/clones. If you want to
reclaim all space, delete all snapshots and clones.

All VM disks must be either on shared or local storage for a single host. VMs with disks in both

Using XenCenter, enable hidden objects (View menu -> Hidden objects). In the Resource pane, select the VM for

In the Resource pane, select the resource pool master host (the first host in the list). The UUID will be displayed

1. Open a console on the host and run the following command:
xe host-call-plugin host-uuid=
<host-UUID>

For example, if the VM UUID is 9bad4022-2c2d-dee6-abf5-1b6195b1dad5 and the host UUID is b8722062-
