   They all looked good. I did migrate a few months ago, but it was working   
   normal up till today. I can't think of what I might have done, but I'm sure it   
   must have been something I did. I did recover it back, I do a back up every   
   night so I did a recovery of that VM and it work fine after that.   
      
   Thanks,
