This section discusses about disabling the Controller and SEs.
VMs and their corresponding images can be cleared using the following commands:
virsh undefine vm-name virsh destroy vm-name
At the root directory:
rm -rf /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm-name.qcow2 rm -rf vm-name
The rm -rf vm-name command will delete the local folder created in root directory for the relevant VM.
Note:
If at anytime if one sees the disk space of the host getting exhausted it might be due to the N number of qcow2’s being used in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ as part of the VM’s creation. Clear up any unused ones by deleting the respective VM and deleting the respective qcow2 image alongwith.
Please ensure to manually cleanup (force-delete) the stale SE entries present in the Controller GUI post destroying SE VMs.
