ODA Shared Repository Not Releasing Disk Space From Deleted VMs; Not Able to Delete a VM Even if the VM Has no Files or VDisks (Doc ID 2515399.1)

Symptoms

 One of the VMs we attempted to delete returned an error:

     OAKERR : 9009 : Unable to find the resource : odatest

This VM is listed and can be seen if using the 'oakcli show vm' command,

However, there are no directories or files for it found under the expected location.

    /u01/app/sharedrepo/.ACFS/snap

This issue can be a bit confusing as the source of the problem is the mismatch of various VM metadata / information:
Examples:

• We do not see references to VM or Vdisks saying that they exist even though you may have attempted to delete the VM earlier.
  - The reason we believe that they must exist is that we can not delete the resource - e.g.      OAKERR : 9009 : Unable to find the resource : odatest
• We believe that a VDisk must exist after deleting a VM using the same Vdisk. Reason: A second VM uses the same Vdisk and is working but does not show the Vdisk
• We see references to incorrect, missing VM metadata which does not match between commands showing the repository, VM and vm.cfg.
