Server crashed (hw issue), VMs gone


Recommended Posts

Basically, title.

I've pretty much narrowed the hardware down to a faulty mobo, so we'll ignore that for now.

 

Having restarted the server from a few unclean shutdowns (these construction workers don't like mentioning when they're going to shut off power...) my VMs have vanished.

 

I understand this is most-likely a corrupted libvert.img. I've tried bouncing the VM service, and deleting and re-creating the .img. Weirdly, when I do the latter, only 1 VM shows up. To my knowledge, it doesn't have anything unique about it, but just a curiosity.

 

Anyway, long story short: Is there any way to recover more gracefully from this, or am I going to have to manually recreate my VMs, and link them back to the existing vDisks?

Bonus question: Can I backup libvert.img with VMs running without any issues? (for future)

 

syslog and diags attached. Thanks in advance for any tips.
