Please try to start the virtual machine and check the file system for errors. Or you can resize the hard disk without resizing the file system and then resize it using the tools of the guest operating
After the failure, VM switches to Starting state and becomes unmanageable, switching to UNCERTAIN after some time.
Cause
VM resize is not possible due to some reasons on Virtuozzo level.
Possible causes:
- VM with MBR partition table is resized to more than 2 TB, which is forbidden
- VM has a filesystem corruption
OACI acknowledges the failure and pays provider's attention to its state.
Resolution
Contact Virtuozzo Support for the detailed guidelines how to fix the affected VM.
