Hello

I have 2 VMs running on my Proxmox. I scheduled a task to reboot them weekly. However, one of them is having this issue: It doesn't receive the signal to shutdown, but I've already verified that the QEMU agent is running. Also tried reinstalling, but the issue persists. Any ideas?

Please share systemctl status qemu-guest-agent.service from inside the VM and qm config 101 --current from the node.
Also run poweroff from inside the VM. Start it again and see if it works afterwards.

You can always enable the QEMU Guest Agent in two ways: i) From a shell: systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent or ii) Enable the QEMU Guest Agent option under "Options" of your VM from the web GUI.
