[CentOS] KVM guest not running but cannot stop either
I am working with a cloned vm. In the process of (re-)adding an additional virtio disk I received a notice that the change could not be made to a running instance. Which was curious because I had shut that v down. Now I cannot get it to start from virt-manager, the run selection is greyed out. If I try and pause it from the graphical vm details interface then I get a message that the vm is not running. I can start the vm from virsh but I cannot get a console, neither graphical nor serial. The thing looks hosed to me but before I blow it away I though that I would ask is there is anything I can do to recover it. I am concerned that this sort of thing is even possible. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
