Hello,

I have Proxmox 7.4.17 cluster with three servers:

- adm109 and adm110 with a shared storage named iscsi;
- adm123 with a local storage named adm123.

I need to migrate VM from adm109 to adm123 so I run this command on adm109:

$ qm migrate 133 adm123 --online --with-local-disks --targetstorage adm123

but I get an error:

ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:00): storage 'iscsi' is not available on node 'adm123'

I tried both online and offline migration but no luck.
 
This is because there is no available storage entry with the same name on the target node adm123, so the migration was aborted. Check if you can mount the same iSCSI storage, or back up/restore the disk to be migrated to the local storage of adm123 before attempting the migration again.

But I'm able to migrate VM from a local storage on adm109 to adm123. Why doesn't it work with iSCSI storage? Is it because it's shared?

We can't run vanilla Proxmox, we have to use a certain Linux distro that has built-in Proxmox 7.4.

Yikes, is there any support available for that distro e.g. patches from the vendor? Imho using EOL software is a recipe to get hacked sooner or later
