Hello,

I have over 10 servers running Proxmox and recently i upgraded proxmox from 6.2.x to 6.3.4, and since the upgrade i get this error randomly whenever i try to reset.

Code:
qmp command 'system_reset' failed - unable to connect to VM 151 qmp socket - timeout after 31 retries

It never used to come in 6.2.x

and at the same time, I get a lot of the following error too

Code:
Guest Agent is not running

Even tho i am using the same template as before, i install the VM and it works fine and then randomly throws that error, even tho the VM is still running and i can VNC into it. Then i have to restart the server and more often than not i get the qmp socket error.

NOTE: It is Windows 2012 R2 VM.
 
Could you post your 'pveversion -v' output? Also check the logs for anything suspicious around the time when the error starts to occur ('journalctl -e'), and maybe post them too.

The issue most people are referring to only occurs on 5.2.0, and has a (potential) fix in 5.2.0-4. This would be something else then. (unless you downgraded before running the pveversion?)

You specifically mention the "Reset" command in the first post, does it always/only occur when you do that? If you can easily reproduce it, please share your VM config as well, and potentially try to capture a gdb trace after a hang as described here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/a...er-latest-pve-update.85397/page-2#post-377434

I might have made a mistake, the server whihc was facing the issue, i have upgraded to 5.2.0-4 however i am not sure if the issue still persist and i think i have given the output of a neighbouring server instead.

As for the Reset, i do not run the command, but do it from the Panel itself.

The moment i see this error again, i will take the gdb trace for it.
