Hi, i need help. I'm in panic. I want to restore a Windows VM from a backup, the restoration process ends OK but when i try to start the VM it doesn't.
I am getting this error:
Code:

Hi Moayad. Thanks for your response. I 've already solved the issue.
The complete error was this:
Code:
kvm: -drive file=/rpool/data/qlik/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on: file system may not support O_DIRECT
kvm: -drive file=/rpool/data/qlik/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on: Could not open '/rpool/data/qlik/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw': Invalid argument
I' ve restored the VM to another drive and it booted OK.
Thank you very much.
