Restoring non-HA VMs to old state

[Lennert den Teuling <le...@pcextreme.nl>]

Hi All,

We had some issues with a CS node yesterday, and it seems that VMs 
_without_ HA are not restored to the old state when the node is up again.

Maybe this is normal behavior, cause the VMs were not enabled HA. 
Unfortunately it is hard to determine which VMs were running and which 
not after hardware failure.

We have clients that stopped their VMs on porpuse so i can't just start 
all stopped VMs, cause they will be invoiced for it.

Any ideas on this topic are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

you might want to look in the database, specifically the vm_instance table.
the last update time on the vm's should be a good indication as to what was
stopped long ago, and what bailed around the time of the failure. Hope that
helps.
