Error code 255

Cannot Start VM - Exit Code 255
Error: command "ha-manager set vm:100 --state started" failed: exit code 255

I was able to use google to find the answer, but I don't think it applies Proxmox 8.0.3
Here's what it says to do but i can not find Resources

"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."

Do we have an updated version of this solution?

Hi,
please share the output of pveversion -v and ha-manager status --verbose. Is there anything more in the task log (when you double click on the task) or in the system logs?

OP ran off it seems. I am having the exact same issue on only one VM. My post on the topic is here.

Let's take the discussion there.
