[one-users] recovery after power outage?

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi,

There are basically two options:

1.- Recover from outside: this means logging in the hosts and perform any
recovery actions needed to boot the VMs again

2.- Restart. When a VM is in unknown state and if the remote VM_DIR is in
place (i.e. disks files or devices are in the cluster node). The restart
action will  issue  a boot action.

So in your case I think it is worth trying onevm restart .

Cheers

Ruben
