Im encountering errors when trying to move live virtual machines, the error log shows the following..

/usr/sbin/qmigrate --online 172.16.10.223 102
Feb 18 15:20:56 starting migration of VM 102 to host '172.16.10.223'

Feb 18 15:20:59 migration finished with problems (duration 00:00:04)
VM 102 migration failed

If I go to the destination server under storage I can see the mapped iSCSI drive but if I click on it to see more details I get the following error page..

[2478]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: command '/sbin/vgchange -aly DUMPSANISCSI' failed with exit code 5

After this process has failed the virtual machine just breaks and can't be restarted

Any help would be great
 
Volume group "DUMPSANISCSI" not found

is this volume group available on all nodes?
 
Hi guys thanks for the replies. This was totally my fault, I hadnt given the correct permissions to the second proxmox server to access the SAN and the qm unlock trick seemed to work and bring the broken VM back to life.
