ProxMox 1.5: KVM image not auto starting

[mjoconr]

Hi All

I just did a test shutdown and restart of my Proxmox system in readiness for moving the system to full production.

The problem is that once the system was powered up again the kvm images did not restart.

Any ideas ?

the first question: do you ticked the 'start at boot'?

works here. do you ran the latest version? pls post your 'pveversion -v' results.

any hint in the syslog?

No indication of why they where not started

I do get a lot of messages like this:

I can not see any reason why they did not start.

You can safely ignor those "Cannot encode" warnings.

What happens when you try to start manually:

# qm startall

 

[mjoconr]

The VM's did not start when this command was run.
