I never tried this but I would go and create a new vm at the same node with the exact same config. Then shutdown and replace the lv name in the vm´s xml configfile with the old one and start the vm.

use

Code
virsh edit vm-id

where vm-id is the VID of your dummy vm. (e.g. like v1019)

so i need to change it like this?

Code
    <disk type='block' device='disk'>

      <driver name='qemu'  cache='none' />

      <source dev='/dev/VG1/vsv1090-dwqclbich2ejkutl-onlidrk6mworbknp'/>

      <target dev='hda' bus='ide' />

Hi,
You will also need to update the lv name in disks table from phpmyadmin on panel.You can identify vps in disks table using vps_uuid found in vps table.
