1 . Create/Restore an new VM (say rescue vm )on the xenserver where the crashed VM is located.
2 . Stop the rescue vm and deattach the storage device .
3 . Attach this storage device on crashed vm .
4 . Change the crashed disk vbd to non bootable after checking with below command
xe vm-disk-list vm="crashedvm name" l ( It will list the storage devices with their uuid's ,for each disk there is a vdi and vbd uuid )
xe vbd-param-set uuid=7f6a1563-fc76-31d8-49c2-c03466ca836b bootable=false
5 . Change the rescue vm disk vbd to bootable .
xe vbd-param-set uuid=5f64a143633-fc76-313-59a2-d13466ca3egf bootable=true
6 Start the crashed vm ,it will boot with the rescue vm's disk.
Now ,mount the original disk whose vbd you changed to non bootable earlier .
mount /dev/xvda /mnt
7 . Going to /mnt ,we will get the old filesystem.
cd /mnt/boot/
Changed the grub.conf default entry to 1 i.e the older version of kernel is selected( as i have updated the
kernel after which vm does not starts)
8. Stop the this crash vm again .
9 . Deattach the rescue disk from the crashed vm and change the crashed disk's vbd again to bootable .
xe vbd-param-set uuid=7f6a1563-fc76-31d8-49c2-c03466ca836b bootable=true.
10 .Now try to start it and now it is bootable (from earlier kernel.)
