Hi,
I have defined a storage of type "RBD" with only SSD drives connected to the relevant pool.
All RBDs are available:
Code: 
root@ld3955:~# rbd ls -l ssd                                                                     [25/1974]NAME          SIZE    PARENT FMT PROT LOCK

When I try to start VMs 112, 123, 126 the following error is displayed:
Code:

Many other VMs can be started w/o issues.

How can I analyse the root cause for this failure?
I assume the issue is related to virtual disk of the relevant VMs, but I don't know how to check this.

Please advise.

Ich habe mittels qm unlock <vmid> die Locks entfernt und danach klappt es auch mit dem Start der jeweiligen VM.

qm unlock removes only pending config locks, not storage ones. I'd guess that the lock was not properly released (killed client, network) and thus you had to wait for a bit until RBD noticed that the client holding the lock vanished, and thus released it again.
Just an (educated) guess though.
