I run Proxmox 7.3-4 bare-metal on a Protecti Vault VP4670.

If a VM has to be force unlocked using qm unlock <vm-num>, the appliance powers down. I think Proxmox is crashing but I'm newbie enough to not know for sure. A trip through syslog didn't show an obvious crash.

The BIOS on the appliance is set to power on after a power outage but, of course, this isn't the case.

I'd appreciate any guidance with these questions:
  • Where's the best place to look for evidence of a Proxmox crash?
  • Does anyone else have experience with forced unlock shutting down Proxmox?
  • Why would Proxmox decide to shutdown if it wasn't crashed?
Thanks!
