Cannot Start VM - Exit Code 255

[CCUK]

Hi

I'm getting an error trying to start a new VM. There are only two VMs on the Proxmox server and one of them is running fine. However, when I go to start the new one, I'm getting the following error:

Error: command 'ha-manager set vm:101 --state started' failed: exit code 255

It's a dedicated server running Proxmox VE 5.1 with ZFS.

2x480 GB SSD in a ZFS Mirror for the ZIL and L2ARC
2X2 TB HDD in a ZFS Mirror
64 GB Ram
Xeon 4 Core (8T)

The VM that won't start is configured with 1 GB Ram and 1 vcore so there's plenty of resource avaialbe.

I'm fairly new to Proxmox. Suggestions on where to look first?

Thanks

In case it helps someone in the future, I managed to get around this issue by clicking on Datastore, HA. On the right hand panel under Resources, my VM was listed. I clicked it and then Remove. After that I was able to start the VM.

Not sure why it ended up in that state though..

Thanks for the solution
I guess that happened because I do not have enough RAM

Hi. Not need Remove there. Just Edit VM and there state to Disable first. After - Started. It cleanup the state error.
Thank you about the way by TS.
