Where would the stale mounts be? .. in XCP-ng? or in Freenas?

@S-Pam said in Can't start or shutdown VM's after power outage:

export your NFS with fsid option

I am not certain what you mean by "export your NFS with fsid option"?
Can you explain?

This post will be less narrow and specific than we would all like - But it is my situation.

I have :

• Pool of 3 XCP-ng v8.0. on 3 Dell T5500's. Recently converted from ESXi - 3 months ago. Approx 50 VM's.
• 2 separate FreeNAS storage computers.

I have used XenServer 6 for years in a business environment.

I Left HA and VM's running.
I Shutdown one FreeNAS box due to disk error to investigate.

Problem: (trio of servers)

After turning FreeNAS back on, I could not do much with Xcp-ng.

I can ssh.
I can now use the XCP-ng center.
Most VM's are starting, but not started.

I tried to shut down VM's using command line xe commands per https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX220777
I can not shut most of them down, I can't start them.
I could not do much with the system.

I used commands "like" these and others.

 96  xe pool-list
101  /etc/init.d/xapissl restart
104  service xapi status
105  service xapi restart
107  netstat -an | grep 172.16.2.30
111  cat network.conf
112  cat xapi-ssl.pem
113  hostname -f
116  xe host-list params=uuid,name-label,host-metrics-live
117  xe host-is-in-emergency-mode
121  xe host-emergency-ha-disable --force
122  xe sr-list
123  xe host-list params=uuid,name-label,host-metrics-live

Test attempt:

Not being able to use any particular XCP-ng server, I powered them all off. Then I set up a 4th fresh XCP-ng on another computer - Dell R620.

Problem: (Dell R620)

1. mounting exiting SR's takes much longer than before. Instead of 10 seconds, it's two minutes for example.
2. The windows 2012 w/exchange 2013 VM takes hours to start and exchange services don't start. The network and sharing dialog won't load.

I realize this sounds like a soap opera, but it is my situation. It probably sounds like a country song, I lost my job, then my car, then my wife, then my.....

I will post the last error messages from the XCP-ng log later today.

Many thanks for your patience with me.

Update 12:50pm:

I edited the post above in many places. Read it again if you already read it.
There are no errors in the XCP-ng center log.

Update 7:50pm:

I clarified the post title and that the original three servers are powered off. The R620 is the only one running now.
