Hi,

4 HA Vms were not able to reboot properly this morning at 4:30 pm (reboot via cron).
These vms are running Centos 7 64 bits with qemu-guest-agent (hosted by different nodes).

Seems that my 3 nodes cluster is up to date :

Code: 
proxmox-ve: 5.1-25 (running kernel: 4.13.4-1-pve)
pve-manager: 5.1-36 (running version: 5.1-36/131401db)

ceph: 12.2.1-pve3

When I tried to connect to the vm console, it shows "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)". VMs vCPUs were almost at 100 %.

So I tried to reset these VMs without any effect.
I also try to stop the VMs but it took more than 10 min to succeed (shutdown and no 'stop' as I required). I guess it tried to shutdown vm via qemu-guest agent but services were not started indeed. After a while proxmox shutdown vm with SIGTERM terminating as you can see :

Code: 
task started by HA resource agent
VM quit/powerdown failed - terminating now with SIGTERM
TASK OK

Do you if it's a known bug ?

Thanks in advanced !
 
"Guest has not initialized the display yes" is an very early boot error of the VMs and can have a number of different cause.
As it happens very early during the boot sequence it is usually not possible to do a proper shutdown, either via ACPI or guest-agent.

Did the machines started after they were stopped with:
task started by HA resource agent
VM quit/powerdown failed - terminating now with SIGTERM
TASK OK

?
 
Hello

Yes, all stopped vms via HA this morning are now 'up and running'
 
Hello,

It happened again this morning, for a debian 8 64 bits with qemu-guest-agent installed.
The VM tried to reboot @ 4:30 am (via a simple cron 'shutdown - r now')

The screen of the vm console was totally black.

As usual, the shutdown of the VM took more than 10 min.

Nothing special mentioned on hypervior syslog :(
 
Hi,

Unfortunately, It occurred again...
Don't you think it could be possible that a KVM bug affecting the whole cluster when more than 2-3 vms are rebooting at the same time ?
 
Hi all, I noticed this problem after a backup (mode STOP).
The guest is a windows 2016 and is using virtio-SCSI.
In the past there has been problem with backup using STOP mode and VIRTIO.
I suspect there may be problem with virtio-SCSI as well.
Did you notice if the message appeared after a scheduled backup?
If yes, what modality of backup did you use?
 
I tried to do a backup with SNAPHOST mode and the guest started fine.
I forgot to mention that the guest was not running during backup.
I'm groin to try once more to backup with STOP mode and see it replicates again.
 
Well, I wrote to early.
This time the guest was able to boot but it ended with a blue screen!

I also forgot to mentions that the guest ha no problem restarting after it has been shut down by qem-guest-agent (right click, shutdown).
 
Hi all,

All my backups are made via SNAPSHOT mode.
It only occurs when vms try to reboot OS, eg on linux vms via cron '/sbin/shutdown -r now ' @ 4:30 am. Snapshots backups are already done (until 3:00 am).
 
Hi,

It still happens sometimes on several nodes of 2 distinct clusters in my case.
