[libvirt-users] Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock

[Robert Šmol]

Hi, 

I am looking for help to troubleshoot: 

node002 ~ # virsh
virsh # list
 Id Name State
----------------------------------
 1 dom001 paused

virsh # resume dom001
error: Failed to resume domain dom001
error: Timed out during operation: cannot acquire state change lock

virsh # 

then I've looked into /var/run/libvirt/qemu 

node002 ~ # ls -l /var/run/libvirt/qemu/
total 8
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Jan 10 17:41 dom001.pid
-rw------- 1 root root 2785 Jan 10 17:47 dom001.xml

node002 ~ # ps ax|grep 16681

I have used virt-manager to start the machine (KVM+QEMU), then I tried to
pause the machine and the virt-manager was gray for long time so I killed
it. Now I cannot resume the machine. Any tips?
