Errors when starting more than one VM

[steve87]

I had ProxMox running with multiple VMs earlier today, and yesterday. Everything was good, I had to restart some of them because of updates and after restarting, I wasn't able to start them again. No problem, clone a template and start over. But this time, once the clone was complete none of them would start. I haven't tried creating VMs without cloning, I'm going to be doing that now. But I'll still post info on the error and my system in case there's a problem there.

In the Proxmox WebUI, this is the error I get:

Likely the same error, but for science and the sake of being thorough, this is the error when starting the VM through CLI/Putty:

And finally, the output of lscpu:

I'd paste syslog, but it just echos the above errors again without any real difference.

Lastly, I'll be creating a few VMs without cloning to see if perhaps something with the clone is causing the issue. If there is any other relevant information necessary please let me know, and I'll be happy to provide it.

Thanks!

Hello @steve87

It looks like your RPC environment is not running, so the webapplication generates a task, but it cannot be executed.

At a guess I would say the necessary thing to do is:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart rpcbind
systemctl restart pvestatd

Then check netstat -plnt to see if it lists rpc.statd twice and rpcbind.

Hey thanks for replying. I reinstalled the whole thing. I changed a few things while messing with it, and then nothing would load, so I just wiped and started fresh. Thanks for the answer though
