Hi,

I’m a bit irritated what’s happening here currently:

When I deploy a VM to a remote host, disk.0 is copied over to remote’s system Datastore, but then ONe stops after creating the deployment-File:

```
root@brick:~# ls -lah /var/lib/one//datastores/118/256/
total 7.2G
drwxrwxr-x 2 oneadmin oneadmin 4.0K Aug 1 02:35 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 oneadmin oneadmin 4.0K Aug 1 02:35 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 oneadmin oneadmin 7.2G Aug 1 02:39 disk.0
root@brick:~# 

root@one-1:~# tail -F /var/log/one/256.log 
Thu Aug 1 02:31:07 2019 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is HOLD
Thu Aug 1 02:34:36 2019 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is ACTIVE
Thu Aug 1 02:34:36 2019 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is PROLOG
Thu Aug 1 02:38:36 2019 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is BOOT
Thu Aug 1 02:38:36 2019 [Z0][VMM][I]: Generating deployment file: /var/lib/one/vms/256/deployment.0

```

I’m rather sure this worked some weeks ago …

… like here, for another remote system:

```
root@one-1:~# cat /var/log/one/257.log 
Thu Aug 1 03:02:06 2019 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is HOLD

As described [here](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/new-vms-stuck-in-boot-state/1685/9) and [here](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/vm-stuck-in-generating-deployment-file/7494/3), `systemctl restart opennebula.service` and Recover -\> retry via Sunstone fixed the issue:
