Hi,
One of our VM from proxmox cluster keeps stopping and we need to start it again, could you please advise what could be the issue?
I tried to remove the VM from HA, but the issue still exists

Thank you
 
Hi,

May I know which logs do we need to provide?

Hi,

Could you please share the steps to check the log?

Regards,
 
cat /var/log/syslog | grep OOM should return some lines in case a VM got killed because of running out of RAM, when run on the PVE host.

Some other options to view the syslog:
cat /var/log/syslog | tail -100 to show the last 100 lines.
cat /var/log/syslog | more to view the full file page by page.
nano /var/log/syslog to open it in text editor.

Hi,

'cat /var/log/syslog | grep OOM' does not provide any outputs.On checking the cat /var/log/syslog there is only showing below detail regarding this VM.

Sep 27 03:25:59 node-n1 pvedaemon[1780898]: VM 131 qmp command failed - VM 131 qmp command 'guest-ping' failed - got timeout

Please advise.
 
Please attach the VM 131 configuration file (/etc/pve/qemu-server/131.conf). Time-out are usually caused by too much (fragmented) memory or PCIe passthrough issues. What hardware are you using for your Proxmox (CPU and memory for example)? Are you using ZFS?
