Adding VDisks to the VM Does Not Reflect New Disks Inside VM
(Doc ID 2198231.1)

Oracle Database Appliance Software - Version 12.1.2.7 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Trying to add two virtual disks to an existing Oracle Database Appliance Virtual Machine (VM).
The VM already has 4 VDisks attached (including the System.img).
The VDisk creation is OK.
The attachment of VDisks using OAKCLI is OK.
The vm.cfg is updated with the VDisk (oakvdk_emcc_vdisk1,xvde, oakvdk_emcc_vdisk2,xvdf) information as well:
vm.cfg
vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:7a:7c:6e, bridge=net1', 'mac=00:16:3e:17:fb:cb,
bridge=mgtVLAN']
name = 'emcc'
extra = 'NODENAME=emcc'
builder = 'hvm' <<<<<< pvhvm is not used.
cpus = '2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13'
vcpus = 12
memory = 24576
cpu_cap = 0
vnc = 1
serial = 'pty'
disk = [u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/emcc/VirtualMachines/emcc/e3604509ffce4382a959aa9e12db1afd.img,xvda,w', u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/oakvdk_emcc/VirtualDisks/oakvdk_emcc,xvdb,w', u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/oakvdk_sw/VirtualDisks/oakvdk_sw,xvdc,w', u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/oakvdk_fast_recovery/VirtualDisks/oakvdk_fast_recovery,xvdd,w', u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/oakvdk_emcc_vdisk1/VirtualDisks/oakvdk_emcc_vdisk1,xvde,w', u'file:/OVS/Repositories/emcc_repo/.ACFS/snaps/oakvdk_emcc_vdisk2/VirtualDisks/oakvdk_emcc_vdisk2,xvdf,w']
The existing VDisks show up as SCSI block devices at the OS level even though vm.cfg has XVD definition:
# ll /dev/sd*
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 0 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sda
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 1 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sda1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 2 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sda2

brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 16 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdb
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 17 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdc
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 33 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdc1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 48 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdd
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 49 Oct 7 13:12 /dev/sdd1
We can see missing xvde and xvdf virtual disks.
