VM INACCESSIBLE

[WB2020]

Hi,

When I tried to connect to my VM of windows Server 2019 today I got a forbiden icon and an "inaccssible statut". I can't launch my VM.

Cannot attach medium 'D:\WDS-19\VS2019\VS2019.vdi' {62756913-42c5-4f0e-a328-ef0a0d937870}: medium is already associated with the current state of machine uuid {0fe7e026-8bec-42b6-b1c8-e09b18f47a58}!.
Code d'erreur : VBOX_E_OBJECT_IN_USE (0x80BB000C)
Composant : MediumWrap
Interface : IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}

Any idea of what is going wrong ? there is no other VM launched at the same time.

Thank you in advance for your help..

That error appears to mean that the vdi file is in use by another running VM or is part of another VM's snapshots.

First try rebooting your host then start the inaccessible VM.

If the host reboot doesn't work, we're going to need more info: Run the following commands in your host PC's Command Prompt, then post the text output:

CD "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
vboxmanage showmediuminfo "D:\WDS-19\VS2019\VS2019.vdi"

Thanks for the info. So the disk is attached to only one VM, the one with the UUID in the error message.

Can you please describe what this means?

When I tried to connect to my VM

Does it mean "When I tried to start my VM"?

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose "Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager". In the window that opens, zip the VM's .vbox file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (If you have a Windows host, please make sure all file extensions are shown, so you will be able to see the .vbox extension easier.)

I can't access to anything even file explorer as you can see in the img

Yes I meant when I try to start.

Find attached my .vbox file

Thank you for the help

There is something odd in the VM, maybe. Here is the media registered in the VM:

<MediaRegistry>
<HardDisks>
<HardDisk uuid="{62756913-42c5-4f0e-a328-ef0a0d937870}" location="VS2019.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
<HardDisk uuid="{0a8c975c-8123-461b-841f-62f24c46bed3}" location="VS2019_1.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
<HardDisk uuid="{fcbe3a6c-258a-4c99-b0eb-96a32159d7d4}" location="VS2019_2.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
</HardDisks>

</DVDImages>

Here are the attached media files:

<StorageController name="SATA" type="AHCI" PortCount="5" useHostIOCache="false" Bootable="true" IDE0MasterEmulationPort="0" IDE0SlaveEmulationPort="1" IDE1MasterEmulationPort="2" IDE1SlaveEmulationPort="3">

</AttachedDevice>

</AttachedDevice>
<AttachedDevice type="HardDisk" hotpluggable="false" port="3" device="0">

<Image uuid="{51ecd1d4-35fc-4ac7-9e13-1f6d85b8bae7}"/>
</AttachedDevice>
</StorageController>

The four media UUIDs match up to four of the attached devices. There is a fifth, the bottom disk, that is not mentioned in the Media section. What is that disk?

The last I guess is one I deleted from an other VM. But did that after It was already broken.

[scottgus1]

OK. The VM think's it is still attached at this point. So go in and delete it, then try the VM again. If the VM does not boot, re-post the .vbox file.

[WB2020]

Delete the lines on .vbox file worked. Thank you for helping me on this.

[scottgus1]

Great! Glad you're up and running.
