Hi all,

We have a cluster of 3 proxmox servers and one serious problem on a Win 2008 Std (No R2) guest: Approximately every 5-15 days on different times the CPU turns up to 100% and the systems hangs. Today at 11:59:57 am this failure occurs the last time. We have had the failure in the past also on a sunday, when no one was working on the machine. So we do not think, that any software installed on the Win-Server itself causes the problem. Also the Windows Event-Logs does not show anything.

The Proxmox syslog says (the nodes 301 and 501 are located at Server 1 (local storage), the hanging Win2008 machine runs as node 402 on Server 2 - also in local storage):

Also in the past there seemed to be a possible connection between starting snapshots and killing the node 402.
The destination for the backups is a SFTP Server in another datacenter.

Has anyone experiences with that behaviour?


Yes, we did, many many times. Everything solved (really!) after bios update (we have many hp and dell servers with Xeon 3xxx and 5xxx series and all suffered of a cpu microcode problem, solved at the end of 2010 / beginning 2011). Look for a bios update.
