October 26, 20205 yr I started using Unraid back in the spring and I've had the computer that I host my Unraid server on down for the last couple of months. After starting it up, I don't see my VMs listed in the VM tab anymore. Not really sure what could have happened. If I open a terminal and navigate to /mnt/user/domains I see that all of my VMs are there. Not sure what to do to make them appear in the VM tab again.
October 26, 20205 yr Did your license expire? If so your array would not be up and running and thus the VMs not there.
October 26, 20205 yr Author license hasn't expired from what I know. My array is up and running, part of my array is an SMB share that I use to store files, thats still active and I can move files back and forth freely.
October 26, 20205 yr Image transid suggest it's very new, possibly you have more than one, post output of: find /mnt -name libvirt.img
October 26, 20205 yr Author root@Tower:~# find /mnt -name libvirt.img /mnt/user/system/libvirt/libvirt.img /mnt/user0/system/libvirt/libvirt.img /mnt/disk1/system/libvirt/libvirt.img

October 27, 20205 yr Author It looks fine to me, I believe at one point I did have the VMs on my cache drive but I had moved them off of there soon after and that was well before I had powered off the machine for a couple of months.
October 27, 20205 yr Unless you have a backup of the libvirt.img file or the xml's from before, I suspect your only way forward is to redo the settings. Your domains share contains the hard drives for the VM's, so all your data is still intact, but the xml settings for the VM's live in the system share, and apparently that was created fresh recently for some reason. Create a new VM, but in the primary vdisk, select manual, and select the vdisk.img file that you are wanting to bring back.
October 27, 20205 yr Author Alright, I was able to re-add the VMs by pointing the VDisk location and share at the location of the previous VMs. Thanks!
