Hello,

I have added a new node to a Proxmox CEPH Cluster and added the new node to the HA Group and when i try to move a VM to the new node nothing happens or erorr, if i remove the VM from the HA Group it will migrate then when i add the VM back to the HA group and will say fencing then the VM will move back to the orginal node.

The status for the node on the LRM is saying idle.

Is there any reason for this or how to fix it?
 
Hi!

can you please post the output of:
Code:
# from a few nodes
systemctl status pve-ha-crm pve-ha-lrm watchdog-mux
ha-manager status
# for the next one node is enough
ha-manager config

After you created a group and added a VM/CT to it?
 
Here is the output

Something does seem very wrong, and i cant see anything in the logs.

Code:
root@INETC1434:~# systemctl status pve-ha-crm pve-ha-lrm watchdog-mux

I did not meant that the systemctl command should be done a few times for a single node but for some (different) nodes, also the "ha-manager config" command output misses, additionally as you talked about groups so the "ha-manager groupconfig" would be nice too.

The idle, as of now, simply is from the fact that INETC1434 has no enabled service configured, so its Local Resource Manager stays idle. You say a migration fails, can you get me some logs from that time?
The one from the master (currently INETC1536), the migration source and target node would be great.
 
The node INETC1434 just rebooted by itself when i added dummy VM to the HA

Code:
root@INETC1434:~# ha-manager groupconfig
group: HA
        nodes INETC1242,INETC1536,INETC1209,INETC1434
        nofailback 0
        restricted 0

when i now try and move a VM back to INETC1434 all i get is the following and nothing will happen.

Code:
Requesting HA migration for VM 100 to node INETC1434
TASK OK
