I have had the names of the VM's disappear several times now in Server View - but the names show up in Options for each VM. Several VM's are still running. I can change the view but none will show the names.

This is a standalone server - not part of a cluster - and has the latest updates.

I have been rebooting the Proxmox server to resolve the issue. I have restarted pvestatd and pveproxy as suggested on other threads but neither worked. Rebooting is not a good option. Any ideas what I should do?

Hi,
did you ever start the VM manually instead of via the qm start command or the UI? Otherwise, the process should be running inside the systemd scope.

In any case, a fix for this is already applied in git and will be part of the next qemu-server version. Most likely version 9.1.5, but it's not yet packaged.

I found out that Veeam was running a backup for that VM and something failed. It appears it left Proxmox in a state where it still thought the VM was running? Once I ran 'qm stop108', the names came back.
 
Maybe Veeam started the VM "manually" outside the systemd scope.
 
I don't see why you are using Veeam backup for Proxmox VM's. Use the in-house vzdump or PBS for VM backups.
