[SOLVED] cannot stop/reboot VM

[muekno]

I habe a VM DEBIAN 12 Textmode install. Tried reboot via termin command. but does not stop. Wether SHUTDOWN, nor HARD STOP or HARD RESET works. tried to reboot the PVE. bring me a connection error. and stops rebooting,.
Can access normaly all other VMs on that host. Is there any way to kill that Debian, even with dataloss on that VM, DATA are most static, I havve good Backups.
running PVE 8.4.16

Apreciate every help.

Hi muerkno,

try:

ps -ef | grep <vmid>

To obtain the process ID of the kvm process, that reflects your vm.
Afterwards

kill <processid>

to send a stop signal to the KVM process, or

kill -9 <processid>

to hard stop the KVM process.

This VM is stuck because its qemu process is hung in an uninterruptible I/O state, which is why shutdown, hard stop, and even node reboot don’t work. Try killing the qemu PID manually; if that fails, a physical power-off of the host is the only fix, then unlock or restore the VM after boot.
