One of VM is not coming up (booting to OS) after abrupt shutdown of host

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi All,

I am new to HPVM.

We are running 5 VMs on host.

Just a few days back the host has been shutdown abruptly, after that one of VM is not booting.

I am getting below given error message while booting:

How to solve this issue.

sounds like /stand is missing or vmunix isn't there. can you boot to vmunix.prev

also dump to the EFI shell make sure it can see all your disks.

Also do a hpvmstatus to make sure you have the correct disk paths.
