kvm does not shut down

[spirit]

How can I set ' shutdown timeout ' options. I do not see that on pve menus.

see:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Virtual_Machine_Startup_and_Shutdown_Behavior

yep that is there:

mediawiki  ~ # ls -l /proc/acpi
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan  6 05:25 wakeup

That's strange, it should work.

you can also try to send "system_powerdown" in vm monitor. This is the command that proxmox sent to qemu for the shutdown

so tried a stop mode backup at 3.1 . that failed

any ideas on how to debug this?

I asked this before (qm stop vmID), but the output you gave seemed to have been for "qm shutdown vmID"


just to be on the safe side and making sure you tested it.

Issue
"qm stop vmID" via CLI
post the output from Proxmox-Syslog and VM-Syslog.

that works on 3.1 not 4.1

 

[Q-wulf]

to clarify,

• on pve 3.1 "qm stop ID" shuts down the VM properly.
• on pve 4.1 "qm stop ID" does not shut down the VM at all ? or you can not issue said command ?

and the issue was on a 3.1 based host only? Or you have it on a 4.1 host as well ?

qm stop 106

is working now.

stop does not work from pve.

there may be a sequence of events that caused the issue. I'll try to recreate.

else it was something I did wrong.
