Cross Post - XenServer VM has a lost disk - but disk is visible.
-
"This is a strange one, the Windows VM can't see its g: drive. But it's right there in Xen. I can see it, unattach it, reattach it. This happened over night and I'm not really sure what caused it, nothing was done to that VM that I know about.
No amount of rebooting, rescanning, reattaching seems to fix it.
Any ideas?"

Can you show us what you see in Xen Center?
Do you have a backup of the VM?
-
What version of XenServer?
-
Have the PV drivers for Windows been installed?

I don't think that drivers would have anything to do with the issue at hand. The system was operational yesterday, today it's misbehaving.
The OP is unable to create or attach any storage to the VM in question.
So it looks like this is a case to restore from backup.

Oh. I missed that it used to work.
-
Any Windows update run between when it worked and now?

Take a look at Windows Disk Management. Maybe the Disk needs to be assigned a drive letter.
