HA and shutdown - not good friends?

[proxwolfe]

Hi,

I am running a three node PVE cluster with HA for some of the VMs. Today I had to do some maintenance on one of the nodes.

My expectation was that when I shutdown the node, the HA manager would migrate those VMs that are listed for HA prior to the shutdown.

But what happened was that the node just shut all VMs and then itself down and only then the HA manager began restarting the HA VMs on another node.

Is that the expected behavior? If so, could that be changed somehow so that HA manager gets notified of the impending shutdown and acts before the lights are turned off?

Thanks!

Which shutdown policy are you using? "Migrate" should be, what you are looking for?!:

Yes, "Migrate" is what I need. Thanks!

But how/where do I set that? I can't seem to find that in the docs (hysterical blindness???)

In the webUI go to datacenter, then options and look for "HA settings" and change to "migrate".

Got it. Thanks a lot!
