Hi,

I want to migrate vm to other node, but the result :

Code:
TASK ERROR: can't activate LV '/dev/High-Performance/vm-108-disk-0':   device-mapper: create ioctl on High--Performance-vm--108--disk--0 LVM-0yMsCViOMZn9xYKxPDIpYZ3lid4L6cCU9Ib0t2cbkd1NRYlMkalifzl6ys1F2kE7 failed: Device or resource busy

When i check to destination node, there is a same disk but different size
Code:

Could that disk be an old one from an old deleted VM?

If you don't know what's inside you could create a new VM on the target node.
After that add a live cd image to the cdrom.
Then you could rename that disk so it matches the id of new VM and mount it.
 
Datacenter > Node (with the VM disk) > Storage (with the VM disk) > VM Disks
Select the VM disk from the list and click the "Remove" button.
 
The other day, I encountered a similar issue and resolved it by:

1. Shutting down the virtual machine;
2. Moving it to another node.
3. Removing the locked disk using the command dmsetup remove /dev/.../vm-108" etc;
4. Starting the virtual machine again. This resolved the issue.

I hope this helps you.
