Every virtual machine I restart doesn't boot.

ohthisis

@Pilow
Doesn't work. It just show VM.start: 33%
I'm afraid to restart the server too because the XO will not run also.

ohthisis

I don't know what happened.

Pilow

@ohthisis the --psr- state of Grafana is suspicious...
0.0 in Time column for Tor too

did you have a brutal reboot / power loss of this server ?
is your storage OK ?

there is some commands to brutally kill all VM in hybrid states like that, but could corrupt data inside (like a forced hard shutdown would do)

do you have backups of your VMs ?

# xl destroy 114

This command would kill the domain runtime (hard shutdown) of Grafana VM
it would then disappear of xl list
followed by a toolstack restart, should present you an halted VM in web UI that potentially could be started normally if no other issue on storage exists

but :

i do not recommend this action if your storage currently have issues
i do not recommend this action if you do not have backups
i do not recommend this action, it could corrupt data inside the VM (it is paused.. but is it really ?!)

just noticed you do not have same vCPUs on VMs with each command.
there is a real desync in your system

@ohthisis I see nothing outstanding
you have two SRs, thick provisionned
one small 95Gb that is empty probably created on the install, and one big 3.64Tb on /dev/sdb

VMs are on the big SR, same sized VDIs could indicate existing snapshots.

is your /dev/sdb a RAID5 array or a standlone disk ?

Can you create a new test VM, that is running normally on this SR ?

ohthisis

@Pilow
I guess my server using RAID5.
I created a VM with PXE as boot, but it is VM.start: 50%.

Pilow

@ohthisis I really don't understand what is happening to your server
all basic tests show something is wrong but I don't know what

hope that someone else could hop in on this case
@Danp ?

ohthisis

I rebooted the server and now I got:
Screenshot at 2026-02-11 12-34-45.png

Pilow

@ohthisis you have no bootable disk on this VM, or boot order is wrong.
could you screen the DISKS tab and the ADVANCED tab ?

Danp

It is difficult to know the source of the problem without more details from your logs. Can you run the following commands on your XCP-ng host and then attach the generated files here?

grep -A 15 -B 15 -i error /var/log/xensource.log/xensource > xensource.txt
grep -A 15 -B 15 -i exception /var/log/SMlog > smlog.txt
