Unbootable VHD backups
-
@DustinB You cannot disable all the boot devices in xoa.
-
Got into the boot but, change what now?
-
@Schmidty86 I dont see your disk at all listed, only PXE (network booting) and then the MISC device (which is the questionable item).
The internal Shell isn't relevant to this conversation.

As a side thought, re-enable the DISK under advanced and then reboot into BIOS and see if the disk is listed.

still nothing. and i do have the vhd attached.

@Schmidty86 That disk appears to be a secondary disk, is this just a "data volume" and not a boot volume (looking at XO where it shows xvdb)?
Hrm as to the fact that it still shows it as a misc disk.... I'm at a loss.
-
@DustinB To my knowledge this is the bootable volume. all the other backups in the parent folder are just differential backups that are much much smaller.
-
@DustinB Also when i look at the VHD in 7zip i can clearly see that it has a boot sector.
-
@Schmidty86 Try to detach the disk and reattach, it should be xvda in order to be bootable
-
@AtaxyaNetwork Sadly I've done this multiple times as well with no luck of it turning into that format.

That's what I was thinking as well, but obviously something is off with this VM.
@Schmidty86 is the old host still online? If so you might be able to perform a Live Migration or a replication job to copy it from the old host to the new.
