Hiya,

zfsutils: 0.6.5.7-pve10~bpo80

My storage is a synology ds412+.

That is connected to a cisco 3750G.

Link aggregation is enable so I bonded the 2 nics on the ds412+.
On the host I am using am IBM x3850 M2.
4 sockets and 16 cores and 125GB ram.
I have a nfs share on the ds412+ and this is what is used to hold the vm images.

my problem is when I reboot the host, and when it comes back up, the vm that are set to boot up automatically dont :-(

What I can see in the logs of proxmox is :

TASK ERROR: storage 'Datastore' is not online

Can anyone advise.

I have checked the storage and the switch and they never drop the connection so I am a bit confused why this happens :-(

Hi Rajbps,

Have you tried to set a Startup delay, in Start/Shutdown order, under VM options?
