Could you check if the VirtualMachineInstance object is still there?

kubectl -n <vm-namespace> describe virtualmachineinstance <vm-name>

Its there, I found out the issue. I have a 1 node harvester cluster and volume replica was set to 3.

That might not be the root cause. Volumes with replicas=3 are degraded but still usable. Is the VM still stuck in a Stopping state?

When I set the replica to 1 that made the volume available again. And the VM entered finally a stopped state and could be successfully turned on.

Thank you. And please also attach the support bundle file. That will make the analysis more smoothly. 🙏
