Hello, just a question: does the VM has any character non compliant with ASCII 7bit?

Bonjour,

Can you check in /var/log/one/oned.log the messages? A tail -f /var/log/one/oned.log while the will give more information. It is very strange that the host stops monitoring some minutes after the VM was instantiated. If you do a onehost list and a onedatastore list when the VM stops does it look as OK?

I see that you are using ceph, as well. In my experience ceph is quite picky about networking, MTU and bonding configuration on storage interfaces are the first thing I normally check in this cases.

Ok, thanks Brunorro for all your advice. I found a solution to my problem: I just upgraded from version 7.0 to 7.1.80, and now everything works successfully. My bad for not installing the latest version for my pre-production cluster. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ressource use for patch :
