Occasionally a backup locks one of my KVM machines.
Running any of the commands from the UI or from the command yields no results –
Stop
trying to aquire lock…TASK ERROR: can’t lock file ‘/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-136.conf’ – got timeout
Reset
trying to aquire lock…TASK ERROR: can’t lock file ‘/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-136.conf’ – got timeout
Solution –
/etc/init.d/cman stop
/etc/init.d/pve-cluster stop
/etc/init.d/pve-cluster start
/etc/init.d/cman start
Now you should be able to stop the KVM machine using –
qm stop VMID
