[SOLVED]No boot device detected for vm on unassigned drive

[caplam]

Hi,

I have a strange issue with some vm.

Due to high writes on cache killing my ssds i decided to move vm to an unassigned drive for now.

Vm are stopped. I copy vdisk to the new location. libvirt.img had been deleted. So i have to import vmsettings.

For some vm i imported xml, pointed it to new vdisk location and fire up the vm with no problem.

For other vm (pihole on debian and windows8 ) if the vdisk is on unassigned drive, it's not detected. If i move back to cache it's detected and the vm boots normally.

What can be the problem here ?

 

edit: stange but solved by removing et recreating vm.
