Virtual machine startup error. TASK ERROR: NUMA needs to be enabled for memory hotplug

[meocon12]

Hello,
I have created a new server cluster with PVE 7.4-3.
Installing proxmox is brand new.
But I can't start the virtual machine up with the error:

TASK ERROR: NUMA needs to be enabled for memory hotplug

If I enable numa then I can start the virtual machine.

I don't have any hotplug options enabled.
I just created a test VM for a fresh install of proxmox.
Is there a way to run a virtual machine without enabling numa.

Can anyone help me fix this?

Sure looks like you enabled memory hotplug, which is not enabled by default. Can you share the VM configuration file (qm config YOUR_VMID on the Proxmox host console or find the file from the /etc/pve/qemu-server directory)?

Remove "Memory" (and "CPU") from YourVM -> "Options" -> "Hotplug". Both are not enabled by default.

Edit: I was too slow.

I don't have any Hotplug options enabled.
I don't know why. Or maybe my server settings are wrong.

This is really strange and I cannot explain it from this configuration.

I don't know why either.
I'm also using 7.4 for the first time.
My old cluster running at 7.3 still works ok.

What is the output of qm showcmd 100 and what is the output of qm start 100?

 

[meocon12]

What is the output of qm showcmd 100 and what is the output of qm start 100?

qm showcmd 100
NUMA needs to be enabled for memory hotplug


qm start 100
NUMA needs to be enabled for memory hotplug

I don't understand why there is this problem.

Can you tell us more about the host system? [Does it, itself, have NUMA running?]
Total shot in the dark, but worth investigating.

I left the server default configuration.
Do you know about any special configuration related to it in bios.
I can't find any options.
The server I installed pve on is brand new.

Thank you so much!

 

[meocon12]

Has anyone encountered this case?
please help me with.

So, one of the problems that can happen in a forum is asking 64 questions to reach a final answer. Not because asking is bad, but because asking for all the information at once does not result in the information being given.

So, you know what? People reading the thread can work really quickly with all the info. So, can we have complete details on what this server is? [I'm thinking of the hardware, what make it is, and what is in it. If you can get the BIOS settings as well, great, it'll make everything easier to diagnose.]

Hello,
I keep getting this error when a new server is added to the old cluster.
My old cluster had this error and suddenly it didn't anymore.
I can't figure out why I'm getting this error with version 7.4-3.
I have cluster running version 6 and 7.3-3 that never get this error.
And I found the server only got this error when adding to the cluster.
before adding to cluster i tried creating a virtual machine and enabled it successfully.
But when adding to the cluster it is not possible to start any VMs on the new host.
