VM QUIT POWERDOWN FAILED PROXMOX

Proxmox is a complete opensource server virtualization management solution. It offers the ability to manage virtual server (VPS) technology with the Linux OpenVZ and KVM technologies.

Today I error VM (Virtual Machine) on proxmox can not be restarted. The following error message I get

VM QUIT POWERDOWN FAILED PROXMOX


root@virtual:~# qm shutdown 103
VM quit/powerdown failed - got timeout

To fix this, you can try find a guest VM process ID (PID)
ps aux | grep "/usr/bin/kvm -id VMID"

kill the PID with the command
kill -9 PID

and then start again your VM
qm start VMID

verify your VM working
qm list

that's it!
