Hello,

  • I have my Datacenter with a cluster of three nodes.
  • Each nodes has a configuration of 2 x 10G LACP native Linux bond (bond1)
  • Each nodes also has native Linux bridge (vmbr1) that is linked to Bridges Port "bond1"
  • For each nodes I have created a native Linux vlan (vmbr1.2001) to be used for vmotion and migrating VMs' resource or storage traffic:
    • node20: vmbr1.2001/10.10.1.20
    • node21: vmbr1.2001/10.10.1.21
    • node22: vmbr1.2001/10.10.1.22
  • In the Datacenter menu "Options" > "Migration Settings" is the setting for selecting which network to use for migrating (VM, and its storage?) but doesn't allow me to select all three vmbr1.2001 from the three nodes. Could someone explain if I'm not using that correctly?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
when selecting the migration network, PVE expects all nodes to have a IP in that network and will determine the right ip address of each node for migration via some cluster internal communication. Doesn't matter, which nodes IP is written in there therefore.
The GUI unfortunately always tells, that the value there is "invalid" if you look at it from a different node, than the one used for making the entry.
