I have here a problem whith the online migration with a kvm Windows 2003 VM using drbd as hdd. This worked already without problems several times but now I get the following error message:
"can't migrate VM which uses local devices"
pveversion -v shows:
pve-manager: 1.5-10 (pve-manager/1.5/4822)

are there any local devices? check the VM config, are there any unused disks, iso, ...?
 
Already checked this, no iso , cdrom completely removed.
But ... I have added a serial port to the VM, could this be the reason ?

Thanks,
Andreas
 
just test it, I am not sure about this.
