    Every virtual machine I restart doesn't boot.

      @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 ?

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

              @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 ?

                I rebooted the server and now I got:

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

                    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
                    dmesg -T|grep -Eiv 'guest|capacity|promiscuous' > dmesg.txt

                      Hello,
                      This issue was related to XPC-ng and caused me to delete and recreate and configure one of the most important virtual machines I have. As I said, every virtual machine I create is only 33% complete, and when I try to turn on virtual machines that are already turned off, I get the message "VM state is halted but should be running".
                      I had to turn the server off and back on to fix the problem. To be honest, I'm afraid to test again to see if the problem is fixed, because I have a VPN server that has a number of users connected to it, and I also have a monitoring server.
                      If it is a hardware problem, the green lights on the hard drive should change to orange or red, but all the hard drive lights on the server are green. I think the problem is related to the stability of XCP-ng.

                        XCP-ng is rock stable. We have (and Citrix does too) many many automated test for such basic operations. So you clearly have an issue somewhere triggering that problem.

                          @olivierlambert Where? How to find it? As you can see, I only have 4 virtual machines on the XCP-ng host.

                            Starting with the documentation is a good thing: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/

                            This will give you (and us) hints on what's going on 🙂
