I am using a HA-Cluster with two systems. One system (sys-b) used an microSd on a USB-Reader for storing data.
It is a zfs pool. This pool is available (zpool list) and accessible.

If I am trying to migrate a container from sys-a to sys-b it doesn't work. The container doesn't use the sdpool-single-1TB.
If I am prioritizing sys-b, the container won't be available at all as migration will be started every 10s and stays in relocate state (limited to 2 in the HA settings, but this is ignored).
The happens with all of my containers / vms.

How to fix:
- The containers / vms staying in relocate state forever
- Migration impossible (wrong error message)


Code:
zfs error: cannot open 'sdpool-single-1TB': no such pool

zfs error: cannot open 'sdpool-single-1TB': no such pool

Hi,
I am using a HA-Cluster with two systems. One system (sys-b) used an microSd on a USB-Reader for storing data.
HA requires at least three nodes and shared or replicated storage. You cannot use HA with local storage.
It is a zfs pool. This pool is available (zpool list) and accessible.

in Datacenter > Storage you can edit the storage configuration and restrict storages to the nodes they are actually available on.
