Snapshot failed if RAM is included

[nicolaspetitjean]

Hi there
I recently set up a new Proxmox environnement (7.0.13) on Dell Poweredge T340. Everything is ok except vm snapshot is not working (infinite task). If I does not include RAM, snapshot is ok. So hardware issue or Proxmox bug ?
Thank you.

how much memory does the vm have? maybe the memory content of the vm changes fast and it takes a while to save to the storage?

(infinite task).

what exactly do you mean by this? how long did you wait?

I waited one minute (VM has only 2G)
After a second try, task was successful after 2 mins. It seems a big too long for a small VM (HD 32 G, RAM 2G), doesn't it ? See the screenshot.

You can choose where the RAM dump of a VM should be stored by changing the "VM State Storage" under your VMs options tab. Maybe you want to choose a faster storage there.
