[PVE-User] VM Power Issue

Mon Jun 8 16:38:48 CEST 2020

Sivakumar - This is a "known issue" as far as I am aware, usually when you
are allocating quite a bit of memory (although 16G is not a lot in your
case, but maybe the server doesn't have much ram?) when starting a vm with
a PCI device passed through to it. It also only seems to happen when you
are nearing "peak" ram usage, so getting close to running out. It never
happens on a fresh boot.

I don't know if it has been acknowledged or even reported to redhat, or
whether simply the timeout should be longer in proxmox.

I wrote to this list about it not long ago and never received a response,
and I have seen at least 1 forum post about it.

Anyway to cut a long story short, just start it manually on the cli, which
has no timeout. "qm showcmd VMID | bash" should start it fine. IE "qm
showcmd 101 | bash"

Regards,
Mark
