stop VM and lost everything
Hi all, I booted a VM via ISO and then stoped it.When I start it again and I found myself in front of VM OS reinstalling.That means,when I stop a VM booting via ISO,I will lose anything in the disk.It's too awful! Is my understanding correct?If so,is the root-disk of VM ephemeral? - Thank you!
Re: stop VM and lost everything
Did you un mount the ISO before stopping/starting your instance? Sounds like it's just trying to reinstall because your instance is booting from the ISO install media.

Re: stop VM and lost everything
Hi Hamilton, I think you are right! But how can I prevent it reinstalling?I need to unmount ISO install media and don't want to reinstall because there are a lot of important informations in my VM. Would you please tell me how to prevent things from bad to worse?Many thanks! - Best regards, Frank 2013/11/23, Sean Hamilton s...@seanhamilton.co.uk: Did you un mount the ISO before stopping/starting your instance?

Re: stop VM and lost everything
You should be able to view the console of your instance through the cloudstack UI. This should let you see what's happening on it.
