Hi, I have a single proxmox node with 1 CT and 3 VMs
Code:
# pveversion -v
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.2-121 (running kernel: 2.6.32-27-pve)
pve-manager: 3.2-1 (running version: 3.2-1/1933730b)
pve-kernel-2.6.32-27-pve: 2.6.32-121
lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4
clvm: 2.02.98-pve4
corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1
openais-pve: 1.1.4-3
libqb0: 0.11.1-2
redhat-cluster-pve: 3.2.0-2

pve-qemu-kvm: 1.7-4
ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1
glusterfs-client: 3.4.2-1
Everything is working as expected, really good in fact, except vzdump cron job. It fails just on 1 VM.
Code:
# cat /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-101-2014_09_28-14_07_05.log 
Sep 28 14:07:05 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (qemu)
Sep 28 14:07:05 INFO: status = running
Sep 28 14:07:07 INFO: update VM 101: -lock backup
Sep 28 14:07:07 INFO: backup mode: stop
Sep 28 14:07:07 INFO: ionice priority: 7
Sep 28 14:07:07 INFO: stopping vm
Sep 28 14:17:08 INFO: VM quit/powerdown failed - got timeout
Sep 28 14:17:08 ERROR: Backup of VM 101 failed - command 'qm shutdown 101 --skiplock --keepActive --timeout 600' failed: exit code 255

My vzdump script is at /etc/cron.d/ folder as follow:
Code:
PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
0 14 * * 7           root qm unlock 101 && vzdump 100 101 102 103 --quiet 1 --mode stop --mailto xxxxx --node i7virt --compress gzip --storage local
After cron job done, I receive an e-mail with vzdump status: CT100 ok, VM101 failed, VM102 ok, VM103 ok.
I don't think that virtualized O.S. should be relevant, but VM101 is a W7 32bits Professional and it's the only is failing.

Thanks bankir382. I'm pretty sure it works. Will try at first chance. At this time that VM is in use.
