Alan Lantz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Restoring the VM from a snapshot before the upgrade would have been the easy way. You should be able to mount your install CD and boot and do a repair if its just a boot type issue. Depending on how badly damaged the VM is you may have to install fresh and mount that disk and get you data moved over the hard way. If you have a backup you could of course restore from that. --Alan-- Link to comment

Tobias Kreidl Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Is there adequate space on your storage device? What's the OS of the VM? -=Tobias Link to comment
Frank Uc Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 There 600 gb in storage and try create a windows 2016 server Link to comment
Frank Uc Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I have solved this by creating another iscsi on my qnap and creating the new image to this iscsi Link to comment
Tobias Kreidl Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Strange behavior. Maybe the original image got corrupted is about all I can think of? -=Tobias Link to comment
Frank Uc Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 yes, that exaplain the vm but not the create a new vm. My best guess is I try to install Unitrends and connect to iscsi. This for some reason would not recognize my NAS so I remove the iscsi and removed the untrends vm. It may corrupt the iscsi and the vm (fyi it was the only VM that had a unitrend agent on it I try to remove it did a force reboot and that when both the vm got a blank screen and I could not create vm on the original iscsi storage Link to comment
Tobias Kreidl Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Any sort of added package can indeed sometimes lead to unexpected consequences! Link to comment
Alan Lantz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Sounds like you have more going on than just a VM that won't boot. --Alan-- Link to comment
