stop VM and lost everything
Hi all,
I booted a VM via ISO and then stoped it.When I start it again and I
found myself in front of VM OS reinstalling.That means,when I stop a
VM booting via ISO,I will lose anything in the disk.It's too awful! Is
my understanding correct?If so,is the root-disk of VM ephemeral?
-----
Thank you!

You should be able to view the console of your instance through the cloudstack UI. This should let you see what's happening on it.

Hi Hamilton,
I think you are right!
But how can I prevent it reinstalling?I need to unmount ISO install
media and don't want to reinstall because there are a lot of important
informations in my VM.
Would you please tell me how to prevent things from bad to worse?Many thanks!

Did you un mount the ISO before stopping/starting your instance? Sounds like it's just trying to reinstall because your instance is booting from the ISO install media.
