VMs landing in emergency mode post migrations. #1376
Description
What steps did you take and what happened?
A subset of virtual machines migrated from VMware to Platform9 Cloud Director (PCD) boot into emergency mode after migration. The issue is reproducible across multiple migrated VMs and affects CentOS/RHEL 7.9–based systems (SUSE Liberty Linux compatibility layer).
The VMs fail during early boot while mounting the root filesystem, despite disks, LVM volumes, UUIDs, and initramfs modules being present and intact.
Steps taken:
Perform VM migration from VMware to PCD (OpenStack) using the standard migration workflow.
Migration completes successfully (VM creation, disk copy, volume attach).
Power on the migrated VM in PCD.
VM enters emergency mode during boot.
Inspect boot logs, disk layout, LVM configuration, /etc/fstab, and GRUB configuration.
What did you expect to happen?
Migrated VM should boot normally into multi-user mode.
Root filesystem should be activated and mounted automatically via LVM during initramfs stage.
No manual intervention should be required post-migration.
