I can interact with my VM fine in console, but I cannot migrate it to another node in the cluster. Other VMs I do not have such problem.

Task log shows
Code: 
task started by HA resource agent

2023-12-15 10:49:36 ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:02): Problem found while scanning volumes - can't migrate VM - check log
TASK ERROR: migration aborted

Likewise when I shutoff the VM, HA fails to start it up with the following error:
Code: 
TASK ERROR: can't activate LV '/dev/VMStorage/vm-106-disk-4':   Failed to find logical volume "VMStorage/vm-106-disk-4"

qm start 106
Code: 
service 'vm:106' in error state, must be disabled and fixed first
command 'ha-manager set vm:106 --state started' failed: exit code 255

I'm not sure where to look for this...It should be noted that is VM is just a fresh install of the OS. Not critical. I already have a new VM spinning up as a replacement incase it's the VM that's screwed. I would like to know if it is the storage in case I should expect this problem again with a future VM.

you can list your logical volumes with lvs. It sounds like the generated cloudinit disk is not there. Did you do any changes to the cloundinit settings? Please share the output of pveversion -v and qm config 106 --current.

You need to set the HA state to disabled first: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-ha-manager.html#ha_manager_error_recovery

Did you already boot it successfully after installation or was this the first start attempt?

Did you already boot it successfully after installation or was this the first start attempt?

Yes, I had just installed and booted successfully at least once. Note that this is a windows server with BIOS: OVMF (UEFI). It has an EFI storage disk and a TPM storage disk. I mention this because when you asked me to run lvs above, I only see one 4MB disk. All my ohter servers have two (one for EFI and one for TPM). I did not remove it!

Ah, because of the found generated disk in the log I had thought it would be a cloudinit disk, but we also print that for TPM states.

Please check /run/qemu-server/106-swtpm.log and also check the system logs/journal for mentions of the disk.
