Proxmox VE All Items Unknown State

Hello all,

This is happening on a fresh install of Proxmox VE. After some time (maybe three or so hours) everything goes into an unknown state. Curiously, live stats on the summary page (such as CPU utilization) are working, along with being able to get into the noVNC console. No odd network config, besides the main adapter being on a VLAN. Thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Hi,

check if the pvestatd.service is running.
does you have any shared network storage?
If yes and the statd is hanging please check your network and storage.
 
The service does appear to be hung. Upon attempting to stop the service, it hangs. I do not have any network storage, though I do have one local disk mounted with LUKS where the VM images live. Could this be causing the problem? I'm able to read and write from this disk like normal. All the VM's live on this disk and are responding normally.
 
If pvestatd .service is hanging it indicates blocking io.
Often this comes from shared network storages, but it can also come from a local disk.
LUKS is not supported in our stack.
So I have no experience with Proxmox VE in combination with LUKS.
You have to debug where it is blocking.
 
I dug a bit more into this today. I removed the LUKS store to temporarily test. It seems that the /sbin/vgs is hanging, so not related to my LUKS stuff? Process status is 'D' (Uninterruptible IO sleep?) so I'm unable to kill without rebooting the server.

The full vgs start line was
Code:
 /sbin/vgs --separator : --noheadings --units b --unbuffered --nosuffix --options vg_name,vg_size,vg_free,lv_count

/var/log/messages had a ton of this, which is not confidence inspiring:

Not sure where to go from here, honestly.

EDIT: Going to assume there's some hardware fault with the drive I installed on. Going to install on another and see what happens.

Yes, it looks like a Disk/Controller failure.
The requested operation does not return.
