Hello, the shutdown and restart, and hard restart or hard shutdown functions are not working for VMs, in CT they work.

I have tried both the column where the VMs are listed and the buttons that appear on the side of noVNC and when the machine is on they do nothing.

The only shutdown option that works is "stop".

I have proxmox updated to the latest version, the same as the kernel (6.8)?


Thanks!
 
Hello,

Could you please check the system logs of the Proxmox VE host and the task logs in the web UI and see if there is any interesting error? You can check the system logs via `journalctl -e`. The task logs can be found on the bottom panel of the web UI.
 
Hi,
additionally to Maxmilianos request, could you also tell us a bit more about your guest system? Some OSes don't react to acpi shutdown commands, or block if for example an important program is still running.

Before booting, there is noting in the VM running that can respond to a QEMU Agent shutdown request or ACPI shutdown event. Use Stop instead (but maybe wait for Shutdown to timeout otherwise it blocks the Stop), which is like pulling the virtual power plug (which is what you would do for a physical machine that hangs before booting).
