grattu Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
khartahk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Did your license expire? If so your array would not be up and running and thus the VMs not there. Quote Link to comment
grattu Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Did you remove a cache drive at some point? Quote Link to comment

grattu Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
grattu Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Alright, I was able to re-add the VMs by pointing the VDisk location and share at the location of the previous VMs. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Good idea to keep an up to date backup of libvirt.img. Quote Link to comment
