Hello,

I have a 4 nodes cluster, sharing an ISCSI LUN with LVM on top of it.

I've created a template that I use to clone VM and add a cloudinit drive.

Everything works fine until I stop the VM (which has it's disk and clouinit on the shared LVM), it then complains that it cannot start :

Code:
Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer/Cloudinit.pm line 96.

qemu-img: Could not open '/dev/prd/vm-106-cloudinit': Could not open '/dev/prd/vm-106-cloudinit': No such file or directory
TASK ERROR: error with cfs lock 'storage-rkg-lvm-prd': lvcreate 'prd/pve-vm-106' error:   Logical Volume "vm-106-cloudinit" already exists in volume group "prd"

I remove and recreate the cloudinit drive, and the VM is able to start normally.

I there a way to make this work every time, without removing and recreating the cloudinit drive ?

Thanks.

Please post the complete output of 'pveversion -v'.
But this sounds like you're not using the current qemu-server version. Please update.

You were right. I've updated the four nodes. And now the VM can start with no errors.

Thanks !
