Deleting VM confuses GUI

[Alexander Nilsson]

Hi, I'm currently experiencing a problem where the live stats for one of my VMs is not showning. What happned was that I had an old VM which I deleted. A short while later (during the same day) I created a new VM and reused the old VMID. I don't know if it is relevant but I also reused the MAC address (I have a scheme based on the VMID).

What does not work (see attached image, below): The status pane shows info about the old VM which was deleted (same VMID). Qemu-guest-agent is running on the VM (I think) but it does not show.

What works: The statistics (hourly/day/month/year) is correct. Also the VM name and status in the list is correct.

What I have tried:

• I have tried to restart services and even to restart the node itself, neither helped.
• I have grepped for the old VM name (rgrep 'backup-gw' /etc/), thinking that there was some old config file still pointing to the old VM, but I got no hits.
• The config file 105.conf looks fine, pretty standard stuff (I can post it if you want).
• If I migrate to another node, then everything works, but that is not a long term solution for me.

Please help

Got using the QEMU agent enabled for the new VM (Options)?
