[TUTORIAL] Issue on Migrate VM

[Abu Sayed]

I aim to migrate a VM from one node to another node, but encounter an error on the target node:

1. Migration with local disk might take long: Disk:105/vm-105-disk-0.qcow2 (250.00 GiB)
2. Storage (Disk) not available on selected target. Start VM to use live storage migration or selectother target node.

How To resolved?

Migration with local disk might take long: Disk:105/vm-105-disk-0.qcow2 (250.00 GiB)

The message is warning you that you have local disk, ie a disk that is located on storage that is local to the source node. And that migrating that disk may take a long time. That is because Proxmox has to copy the entire disk from source to target.

Storage (Disk) not available on selected target. Start VM to use live storage migration or selectother target node.

This message tells you that Storage Pool "Disk" where you local disk is located is NOT available on the remote/target node. That is because by default the PVE is trying to place the disk on same-name storage.

One way to resolve it is to create a storage pool named "Disk" on target node. It does not have to be identical in structure or size, but has to be named the same.
