HA doesn't work in Proxmox 7

[RubenV]

Last week, i tried configuring an HA cluster with 3 computers. Everything went fine till i tested the system by pulling out one of the nodes. The VM switched over just fine but could not start. It returned me the following error:

After hours of trying different sollutions, i found a fix for the problem:

the map /var/lib/lxc/ doesn't contain directories for the CT/VM's not originating on the node you're looking at. The sollution for this problem is to copy the folders of the CT/VM's manualy from /var/lib/lxc/ to the other nodes which do not jet have them at the same location.

I hope this may help anyone struggeling with the same problem as i had. The problem is only present in the (first few) releases of Promxox 7. Another sollution to this problem is to use Proxmox 6 instead of 7.

Bonjour,
Sorry, I don't see any shared storage !!! To do H.A you need a shared storage like Ceph on each node of your data center or another shared storage like PBS, TRUENAS ... with the ISO or CT on it.

You need shared storage or local-storage with zfs async replication (Replikation-Feature in GUI). Also make sure that you dont have any local ressources connected to the vm (USB, GPUs, ISOs etc). otherwise HA wont work.
