VMs in 'UNKNOWN' state after migration

Community Support

Hi,

I have 2 VMs in 'UNKNOWN' state after migration. They are running

fine and can be accessed through the VNC. Also, other VMs on same host
are in ‘RUNNING’ state. Any ides what is happening here and how it can
be rectified?

    Regards,
        Gerry

Hi Gerry,

What version are you using? Can you post the relevant log files to the
migration in oned.log and vm.log for the VMs? What is the status of the
hosts?

Cheers

Hi Ruben,

I'm afraid that at present we are a little behind in running 4.6.2-1

(we are planning to catch up soon). The hosts are fine in state ‘ON’. It
looks like the VM state is toggeling between ‘RUNNING’ and ‘UNKNOWN’
(see below).

Hi Gerry,

We fix a couple of issues related to the automatic VM state update with
monitor information through the 4.8-4.12 releases. I’ve checked the 4.6
code and the VM seems to be missing and found in each monitor interval. So
could you check that the VMs are where they are supposed to be (i.e. onhost
show list the correct VMs; onevm show list the correct hosts, etc…)?
Maybe you could try to run onedb fsck if you have the chance to stop oned.

Good luck

Ruben
