Configuring Boot Delays for VMs in Proxmox HA Cluster

Hi all,

We have a 3 node Proxmox cluster and 10 VMs. HA is enabled and all VMs are added to HA configuration. 3 of VMs run on 1st node, 3 of VMs run on 2nd node and rest run on 3rd node. 2 of the VMs (running on 2nd and 3rd node) have to boot earlier (2-3 minutes earlier) than the rest of the VMs. How can I put a delay after the boot of these VMs? Since all VMs are HA controlled, the straightforward "Start/Shutdown order" and " Startup Delay" settings don't appear to work.

Best regards..
 
Hi!

Currently, there is no cluster-wide option to order the HA resource starts/make HA resources depend on other HA resources to be already started. As you already mentioned, there is the node-wide Start/Shutdown order and node-specific startup delay.

As already pointed out in our bugzilla [0] and with the new HA rules infrastructure, it could be reasonable to implement these as separate "dependency rules" or "order rules", but that is just a quick thought and I cannot guarantee that it will get implemented soon. Either way, it certainly helps to subscribe to the bugzilla entry [0] to be notified if there's any work in the way for this feature and/or add to design discussions, so that your use cases gets acknowledged as well.
