HA migration target when node reboots

[egrueda]

Hi! PVE 7.1 here with HA Cluster and CEPH storage
I have 3 nodes running 3 VMs each one, all nodes same priority. Migration works great.
HA policy is to migrate when a node goes maintenance mode, and its doing fine except it's moving all VMs to the same node

So when I reboot a node, I go from here:

Node01: vm01, vm02, vm03
Node02: vm04, vm05, vm06
Node03: vm07, vm08, vm09

To here:

Node01: vm01, vm02, vm03, vm07, vm08, vm09
Node02: vm04, vm05, vm06
Node03:

It's migrating all VMs to the same node, which is not good for the node01

Is there any way I can balance this automatic migrations to get load balanced per node?
Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have HA groups with priority setup? As normally it should balance by service count (which may not be ideal for all setups, as VM/CTs can have widely different load impact, but ensures at least some basic balancing).

Hi! I have only 1 ha group
All 3 nodes have no priority, should I set a numerical one (same for all) instead of leaving it blank?

Well, I tried to set same numerical prority in all nodes and then restarted one node.
No changes, all migrated VMs went to the same node :-(
Don't know if this is normal behavior or I might be missing some point

May well be an issue with the rebalancing code, I'd need to investigate - if you want you can open a report over at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ and link to this forum post here for context.

FYI, there actually was an issue that messed with correctly balancing out the online services to the remaining nodes on migration maintenance, and it got fixed with pve-ha-manager version 3.4.0

That sound great, thank you!
