Hello,

I have been having this recurring problem, grey question mark

Screenshot 2023-03-08 at 15.18.18.png

I tried to restart the services but the problem remains

Code:
systemctl stop pve-cluster && systemctl stop corosync && systemctl stop pvedaemon && systemctl stop pveproxy && systemctl stop pvestatd
systemctl start pve-cluster && systemctl start corosync && systemctl start pvedaemon && systemctl start pveproxy && systemctl start pvestatd

The only way to fix it in restart the node.

any ideas on how to fix this?
 
Hello,

yes, Firefox and Safari is the same.

another thing that happens is in the login to be able to login I first have to restart the services.
 
Can you provide us more verbose from the syslog/journalctl?

From the image you posted, I see that there is no cluster, right? if it's no a cluster, you not need to restart the corosync and pve-cluster services.


Another thing I would check is the (Storage) is all storage are online pvesm status?
 
right there is no cluster.

Code:

Can you restart only the pveproxy and pvedaemon services and then post the status output here:

Bash:
systemctl restart pveproxy.service
systemctl status pveproxy.service

systemctl restart pvedaemon.service
systemctl status pvedaemon.service

Can you post the full syslog after you restart the proxy service?

I would also check the network configuration of the server if everything is ok.
