At the same time the resource on linstor is created normally, it doesn't look like the problem is coming from linstor.
please help me to find the cause

Hi @rp- can you check/confirm if any linstor issue here, with attach volume.

[rp-]

The only thing that can be really null in that line is the KVMStoragePool.
Looks like the agent doesn't know anything about that pool, would need more agent log to investigate further.

Hi. No. There is nothing wrong with linstore as all other VMs are working fine and the drive attach/ detach function is working fine. In addition, I can mount a disc using the command virsh attach-disk i-2-686-VM /dev/drbd1134 sdb
The problem seems to be related to a particular VM, but I can't figure out exactly where to look

@0sorkon , have you resolved your attaching issue?

[0sorkon]

Unfortunately, no. I had to attach the disks using “virsh attach-disk” from console

[ingox]

@0sorkon do you see the same behavior on a different host? To verify that migrate the VM to a different host and try to add the disk through CloudStack.

Have you tried to restart the agent on the hypervisor?
