Hi all.

Everytime i restart my server all my VMs are gone.

Im having some trouble getting around the hole VM thing.

But i have a backup of the libvirt "image"

I tryed to upload it into

/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img and point at it in the VMs setting menu.

find /mnt -name libvirt.img gives me
root@Kratos:~# find /mnt -name libvirt.img
/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/user0/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/disk3/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/disks/Backup_external/libvirt_backup/libvirt.img
 

 

But the VMs are still gone?

Any good ideas?

Thanks!

Ah okay.

 

I found the "Correct" backuo.

 

Now i got my VMs back.

 

But how can i prevent it from disapering after reboot?

 

Thanks!

If you are using /mnt/cache and the pool is still there after a reboot, the VMs should also be.

Hi Jorge

Is it about timing?
That the VM manager is staring before my array is starting and then i tryes to create a new libvirt?

That cannot happen, it only starts after all array and pool devices mount.

Ah okay.

 

Can you see something in the logs?
It is a little frustrating that i cant reboot.

Now i got this

root@Kratos:~# find /mnt -name libvirt.img
/mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/cache/system/libvirt/libvirt.img
/mnt/disks/Backup_external/libvirt_backup/libvirt.img

 

 

If that is the image you are using, add a new VM, reboot, and if the VM no longer shows up, post new diags.

Do i need to add a new VM? I have 2 right now

Yes, just to make sure, you don't need to actually install an ISO, just add a Windows 10 VM for example, use all default settings and click create (disable start VM)
