I can't seem to have shared template

[karnalta]

Hello all,

I am fairly new to Proxmox so forgive me if I am on a completely wrong path.

I have three nodes into a cluster and a shared NFS storage (truenas).

I have made a template VM on host1 and have successfully moved the disk on the NFS share.

But, when I want to clone the template with as target host2 or host3, it tell me they are not valid target.

What am I missing ?

Thank for your help.

Can you provide:
- pveversion
- qm config [templateID]
- exact error from the clone task , or run CLI with appropriate options provide output of that

Sorry for the late reply.

All 3 nodes are in 8.1.3.

Here is the template .conf :

agent: 1
boot: order=scsi0

And here is the error :



The only thing I see is that the cloudinit qcow2 image is on the local storage of node 1. But it seem that cloudinit disk cannot be moved ?

Thank for help.

EDIT :

I think I solved my issue. I have moved manually the cloudinit qcow2 image to the shared storage and edited the template conf file (as it was not possible to do it by UI) and now I can clone it on any host.

yes, it was because you had disk on local storage. Cloudinit is a non-persistent disk, its regenerated on each start. You can simply remove/disable and re-add it on the correct storage.
