Proxmox Virtual Environment 6.3-2
For some reason part of the guest VM's don't want to shutdown properly anymore. They just stay stuck in "Status: running (shutdown)"
Guest OS is debian buster 10.
Task fails with: "TASK ERROR: VM quit/powerdown failed - got timeout"
And on the screen it can be seen: "reached target power off"
I didn't have any problems before with that same VM.
What could be the problem ?
 
I've got the same problem with some VMs. Most of them are Debian too. Not the biggest problem because the VMs look properly shutdown when PVE kills the VM because it hasn't shutdown in time but still annoying, especially if you got a UPS that can only power the server for 2 or 3 minutes so a fast shutdown is important.
 
hi,

first i would try to upgrade to the latest 6.4 version to rule out that it's some bug thats already fixed
if that does not work, please post the vm config and maybe the syslog of the guest ?
 
Happend here with 6.4 and 7.0.
Will keep an eye on the syslog when it happens next time.
