Hey guys and gals,

I have set up a Proxmox cluster (2 nodes) with multiple VMs and LXCs, and everything worked fine so far.

Recently I tried creating a Replication between the 2 nodes, where the VM is running on node 2 (zfs thin provisioned storage) - and I received the error "No replicatable volumes found (500)", This has never happened before; all other replications were executed smoothly.

What I tried:
- Evacuating both nodes one after the other, applying all recent updates, rebooted them accordingly
- Checked hardware settings, removed CD/DVD (just for the sake of it)
- Rebooted the VM
- Migrated the VMs hard disk between local-lvm and local-zfs (and tried replication again)
- Made sure no backups, snapshots or alternative disks are stored locally for said VM
(- duckduckgo'd the error message)

Any ideas?
I have no idea what else to check, and I don't wanna rebuild the VM :-D

Cheers,
Fuegas

Hi,
please share the VM configuration qm config ID replacing ID with the actual numerical ID and storage configuration cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg as well as the output of pveversion -v from the node with the VM.
 
Hi @fiona ,

I just had an idea and tested around a bit - and found the "issue":
The VM was created using Terraform, and by default it sets replication=false for the disk.

I will change the provisioning scripts accordingly.

Nevertheless: Thank you.

Cheers,
Fuegas
