Hi to all,
I've got 2 server with proxmox 5.4 with replicated storage between the two using local ZFS filesystem in combination with replication feature included in proxmox.
We have about 20 VM, not all of them always running, many of them being linked clone; I'm currently replicating all those vm and all their base disk.
Problem is that I can't migrate any of the replicated vm between these proxmox server, even when powered off:

ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:01): Failed to sync data - can't migrate 'local-zfs:base-106-disk-0/vm-107-disk-0' as it's a clone of 'base-106-disk-0' at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuMigrate.pm line 428.
TASK ERROR: migration aborted

I've managed to manually migrate them, after powering them off, forcing the last replication, and then moving from shell their configuration file from /etc/pve/nodes/PVEHOSTNAME/qemu-server/XXX.conf to /etc/pve/nodes/PVEOTHERHOSTNAME/qemu-server/XXX.conf.

Isn't there any other way to do this with the GUI?
