Hello everyone,
I need some help, as I am unable to proceed when starting a VM via the OpenNebula web interface (23M) due to the following error message.
I do not have access to the shell or CLI, but can only use the functions within the web interface.
When starting the VM, this error appears in the log:
Tue Oct 7 15:23:05 2025 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is ACTIVE
Tue Oct 7 15:23:05 2025 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is PROLOG
Tue Oct 7 15:23:08 2025 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is BOOT
Tue Oct 7 15:23:09 2025 [Z0][VMM][I]: Generating deployment file: /var/lib/one/vms/2071/deployment.0
Tue Oct 7 15:23:11 2025 [Z0][VMM][E]: DEPLOY: Could not create domain from /var/lib/one//datastores/103/2071/deployment.0
Tue Oct 7 15:23:11 2025 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is BOOT_FAILURE
The VM then switches to BOOT_FAILURE status and does not start. I have tried different templates (including with other images), but the error remains the same.
My environment:
Platform: 23M (OpenNebula web interface)
Access: Only via web GUI, no terminal/SSH access
Hypervisor: KVM
Storage: Ceph
Operating system image: Windows Server 2019

Questions:
What exactly does the error “DEPLOY: Could not create domain from deployment.0” mean in this context (KVM + Ceph)?
Can this error be fixed by making adjustments to the template (within the web interface)?
Could this be due to incorrect Ceph/disk attributes or the Windows image itself?
I would be very grateful if someone could help me—unfortunately, I’m completely stuck here. 
Best regards,
Deniz
