Hi All,

I recently switched from my esxi 5.5u3 to a Proxmox.
I started with a small Intel NUC and, after having converted all VMs, I formatted the DELL Server r510 with Proxmox and added to the cluster.

Cluster seems to work fine, but when I tried to migrate back one of the existing VMs, i got an error.

Here is the log of the operation.

Code:
2020-06-06 12:43:42 starting migration of VM 104 to node 'geovs3' (192.0.0.3)
2020-06-06 12:43:42 found local disk 'local-lvm:vm-104-disk-0' (in current VM config)
2020-06-06 12:43:43 copying local disk images
2020-06-06 12:43:43 starting VM 104 on remote node 'geovs3'
2020-06-06 12:43:45 [geovs3] lvcreate 'pve/vm-104-disk-0' error:   Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.
2020-06-06 12:43:45 ERROR: online migrate failure - remote command failed with exit code 255
2020-06-06 12:43:45 aborting phase 2 - cleanup resources
2020-06-06 12:43:45 migrate_cancel
2020-06-06 12:43:46 ERROR: migration finished with problems (duration 00:00:04)
TASK ERROR: migration problems


i saw many messages in the forum regarding errors in migration that the destination server probably has less resources than the required by the vm, but in my case the destination server has twice RAM (128Gb vs 64Gb) and storage (2,3Tb vs 1Tb).

Here is the log message of the failed Start Operation

Code:
Use of uninitialized value in division (/) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer.pm line 4890.
  --virtualsize may not be zero.

TASK ERROR: lvcreate 'pve/vm-104-disk-0' error:   Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards.

Daniele
