For reasons unknown, a critical vm disappeared from unraid’s vm menu. It was not deleted. It’s important that I get it back. I suspect the VM disks are OK and it’s just the VM configuration that has become corrupted.

 

I rebooted unraid and selected the gui boot option so that I could restore from a previous unraid backup config, but the GUI does not come up; all that I get is a blank screen after the scrolling boot text has finished loading

 

Looking for suggestions on what to try next.

Please post the diagnostics.

I am on my iPhone, because that is the only way that I have access to the server at the moment. Thus, doing basic tasks are more difficult.

Any further suggestions?

 

I’m not asking anybody to solve the problem. I’m just looking for ideas on how to solve the problem.

Sorry for late reply but was away for the weekend, Libvirt.img is mounted and is not new, if you have a backup of a good libvirt.img restore it, if not you can can try re-creating the VM with the same settings and point to the existing vdisk(s)

Thanks. I logged on with a new account because I did not have access through my regular account at that time. 

I ended up rebuilding the VM settings from scratch. The Windows 10 vm drives still existed and were not damaged. It turned out to be a good thing because for reasons unknown, the previous settings were causing problems that caused Windows 10 vm to hang for 40 minutes when starting the VM. I think it might of been because I mapped one of Window's document folders to an unraid share, and Windows didn't like the mapped location for some reason and hung for 40 minutes.
