8.2.4 - HA Request State

[kellogs]

Dear All,

In Datacenter --> HA -- Edit Resources i have a VM which I set Max Restart 1 Max Relocate 1 Request State Started

If i manually ssh to the linux vm and shutdown -h now. Proxmox HA would automatically start it.

How do i set the HA state to honor user initated shutdown -h now and only keep the VM in Started state if there is a migration from a failed node to a new node?

Hi,
the guest has no way of telling HA to do something and that is important for security reasons. You will need to initiate the shutdown via HA to change the HA state.

Hello Fiona,

Thank you for the reply. I am sorry as i came from vmware background ... i would just take this for granted ok so now i understand Proxmox works differently.
