I'm having issues with conntrack working when HA is turned on for a vm.

When I try to migrate a vm and HA is turned off it shows conntrack is working. Here is an example log:

Code:

If i then turn on HA it does not do conntrack.

Am I missing something? How can we have both conntrack and HA in use at the same time?
