[one-users] Recover VM in FAILED state

[Karsten Nielsen]

Hi Ruben,

OK thanks for the reply.

That is what happened.

We use ceph for datastorage. So I guess if I delete the VM the image 
will be deleted as well?
Also I do not quit follow how the changes will be preserved and the 
resources, the disk is not persistent.

Thanks,
- Karsten
