I have attached a disk to vm using Acopolis command

 acli vm.disk_create Vm  clone_from_nfs_file=filepath.raw bus=scsi

and write data to this disk using dd and detach a disk.

If I attach a disk again I am unable to see the written data to disk.

Please help me solve this problem..

When you create a vmdisk in this way, you're creating a copy-on-write clone of the original file. All writes go to the clone, not the original file. If you want to access the cloned file, it is located on NFS here:

  • /$container_name/.acropolis/vmdisk/$vmdisk_uuid

You can determine the container ID and vmdisk UUID by looking at the vm descriptor using the vm.get command.
