Hi all,
I have a 4 node cluster running the latest 8.4.5 pve, with diverse, mostly old, Intel CPUs:
16 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (2 Sockets)
24 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5645 @ 2.40GHz (2 Sockets)
32 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2 @ 2.00GHz (2 Sockets)
64 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6226R CPU @ 2.90GHz (2 Sockets)
All runninng Linux 6.8.12-12-pve (2025-07-14T13:20Z)
Some time ago a strange issue started to happen, I think since pve 8.4.1
Some VMs, mostly almalinux 9, in any node, start showing all of these symptoms:
- After some time running, the console on proxmox web gui for that VM stops responding. The cursor is not blinking, and doesn't respond to key presses, just shows the login prompt.
- I can't reboot or halt the machine, just STOP or RESET through the web gui.
- I can't connect using spice, returns a "can't connect" error
The machines are running fine, and can login through ssh, but can't reboot or halt.
If I reboot, I loose the ssh connection, but the machine never reboots or stops, or at least I can't reconnect to it.
Thank you for any Help!
