Cause
Systemd-machined is a system service that keeps track of locally running virtual machines and containers. However, sometimes it has been observed that this service does not show errors but still libvirt fails to activate the service and build VM.
Resolution
Restart the systemd-machined service. Verify once the service is stable.
Service
xxxxxxxxxx# systemctl restart systemd-machinedAdditional Information
The underlying Linux host system service may experience virtualisation issues, but restarting the service typically resolves the problem.
