VCD UI shows duplicated named disk

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

When viewing named disks in the VCD UI, some disks are displayed twice.

The target environment uses a datastore cluster.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Cause

The issue is due to stale entries in datastore table.
When a datastore is moved into a storage pod in vCenter, VCD's VC listener removes the datastore reference from "datastore" table and adds the storage pod reference.
In the problematic cases, for some reason this removing part did not work.

Possible causes:

1. vCenter updates are not received by VCD. This resulted in the above case of stale entries.
2. vCenter update is received but while processing there is a failure in VCD.
3. There is a corner case in VCD's update logic, that misses to update the datastore table

Resolution
