Hi,
I was recently restarting a virtual machine due to applying updates and the virtual machine froze. This vm is located on one of our clusters which are running the Hyper-V role. The vm worked just fine until the restart. I was unable to stop the vm at first so I ended the process via Task Manager. Now I am unable to start the virtual machine.
The following error comes up when I try to start it:
The operation has failed. Failed to start virtual machine 'vmname'.
The details for this error are as follows:
Failed to bring the resource 'vmname" online. Error Code: 0x8007139f. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
Can you please tell me what I should do. I am thinking of deleting the virtual machine and re-creating it but would that erase the data from the virtual drive as well? Also, if this is a good idea, how would I go about giving the vm the smae IP address? Our environment only uses DHCP and does not allow static IP assignments.
Is there a way to go about this without having to delete the virtual machine? And without having to restart the entire Hyper-V node on which the vm is located on?
Thanks in advance,
