Hello @all,
sometimes (often) some of my vms won't start on boot. Manual start works flawlessly. Can't really reproduce it, so a little help as to how to troublesggot would be nice.
Looked in the log files, but found nothing relevant. Guess I didn't look hard enough. Anyway:
1) My setup: Proxmox (recently upgraded to) 9.2.4 on an HP dl 380 G8 with 32 GB and 2 E5-2667 v3. 3 VM's (1 windows10 + 2 Linux Debian Trixie). All pretty standar really, no overcommitment, but I do use balooning and NUMA.
2) Errors:
Code:
kvm: warning: Spice: ../server/reds.cpp:2551:reds_init_socket: getaddrinfo(127.0.0.1,61002): Address family for hostname not supported
kvm: warning: Spice: ../server/reds.cpp:3441:do_spice_init: Failed to open SPICE sockets
kvm: failed to initialize spice server
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

I don't know where port 61002 comes from. I don't see it listed on the docs but again, maybe I didnt look hard enough. Also, I dont use spice.

3) What I tried:
a) start/shutdown order (on/of with different ordering and delays).
b) Enable/disable "Spice enhancements", was off by default, as Display=Virtio-GPUon all of the VM's.
c) Reddit. Yeap, reddit. There's an old post mentioning something similar. Didn't tried it tough.

So, any ideas?


Best regards!
