Unable to restart VM

[absolom]

Hi Everybody,

Just another post to signal the problem of VM that could not been restarted...

When this happens, I can't do nothing, enter in vm, ping, ssh, stop, retard, kill -9 ... Nothing is working...

I found no solution except from rebooting the proxmox machine...

That's not a good solution, if someone needs some logs, I can give some in order to found a solution, that's not the first time I get this error...

I was in snapshot mode for the backup, I switched to suspend, maybe it is related...

Any advice is welcome ;-)

PS :

I have the last update :

Hi,
I seem to get the same issue on my server.

follow this thread for more information:
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/6687-Unable-to-stop-container-operation-timed-out?p=37856#post37856

you might want to try switching to kernel 2.6.18 if possible.
using this guide:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_Kernel

I cannot change to 18 due to compatibility issues which need the newer branch installed.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, I already saw your thread, but It's strange for the kernel 2.6.32, it seems to be the default one, I didn't choose to install this one.

I can't test neither to downgrade in 2.6.18, but maybe will try with a new server soon.

Perhaps they'll find a solution soon...

Regards,

Aurélien.

BTW, you package list incomplete - package 'pve-qemu-kvm' is missing.

Ah !
How do I add this ?
I am only using openvz VM, is it needed ?

Thanks for your reply,

Aurélien.

aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32

Thanks !!!

Why is pve-qemu-kvm important ?
Is there a link with my problem ?

It is only important if you use it (KVM).
