Moved Server to New Hardware - VM Lost in the process!

[Mattaton]

I moved my USB and disks to new hardware. All disks are present as are the files on them when I boot up on the new hardware. Everything seems fine, but when I go to VMs, it says none are installed. vdisk1.img and libvirt.img files are still on the same shares they've always been. I'm not sure why the VM disappeared.

 

libvirt log shows: 2021-11-24 19:47:17.013+0000: 10717: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1826 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error

 

Does this mean my libvirt file is corrupted? 😞

attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.

Sorry for the slow reply. I've had a ton of data to move around on the new build. Here are the diagnostics.

 

I don't mind building a new VM and reinstalling Windows (previous Windows install had a couple issues). I'm just not sure what to do with my apparently botched libvirt file. If I just delete it, will unRAID create a new one?

 

Thanks!

I see you have CA Backup plugin installed. It has a feature to backup your libvirt.img.

yes. When you enable VM Manager, if libvirt.img doesn't exist it is created

[Mattaton]

So, I ended up creating a new VM and pointed it to the old img and it worked. So, I guess I'm good on that.

New problem is that I can't get the VM to boot when I pass through a usb controller. New thread started in the VM troubleshooting forum.

 

Thanks!

Okay. Something still isn't right. Even after deleting my libvirt.img file and letting unRAID recreate it. The libvirt log file has lots of errors. 😕

 

The VM starts and works (without the USB controller added to it), but there's still something not right with libvirt.
