[SOLVED] datacenter.cfg - Migration network format

[alex591]

I was migrating several VMs at once yesterday, and found that I was getting 'Invalid PVE ticket' every minute or so in the web interface. Research suggests that it was probably due to the network being saturated and causing latency issues with Corosync. Everything certainly seems fine now that the migrations have completed.

I tried to create a datacenter.cfg to use a different migration network. It has a single line:

migration: type=secure, network=10.0.192.0/20

Trying a migration again, I then got:

parse error in '/etc/pve/datacenter.cfg' - 'migration': invalid format - format error
migration. network: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties

The migration then continued on the 'main' (Corosync) network.

Help, please!

There must not be a space between type=secure, and network=10.0.192.0/20.

Have you tried doing this in the GUI? Datacenter->Options->Migration Settings?
Your datacenter.cfg settings should appear in the GUI only if the syntax is correct (which means, among others, no spaces)

That sorted it, thanks!

I hadn't realised there was an option in the GUI.
