Hi, dear,
I recently faced a big problem in a Proxmox 8 cluster. It all started when a Windows VM wouldn't start and displayed the following error in the task log:
In some research on Proxmox forums, some reported that restarting the host solved the problem, so I followed this idea: I started migrating the VMs to another host, and then a series of other problems started: some live migrations were "frozen", the VM stopped responding, other migrations gave an error and I could only migrate with the VM turned off, other migrations were even successful, but the "migrate" task never finished, it reached 100% and did not show "success", and error
In the end, when I managed to remove all the VMs, I restarted the host and a message was displayed on the Proxmox host monitor: something to do with a timeout for terminating RBD processes. We use Ceph storage in a cluster of 8 nodes in version 17.2, and this problem reported happened specifically with Windows VMs that use the TPM device, it seems that the TPM process was stuck on the 2 hosts that support Windows VMs.
After restarting these 2 hosts, everything returned to normal, but my concern is that I don't know how this problem arose, I only know that it has to do with the RBD process on the TPM device of Windows VMs
