migration fails But reports Success

[tomc]

Hi
I have 3 ProxMox Servers in a cluster, all running VM's on Local HDD.
pve01 xxx.xx.159.201
pve02 xxx.xx.159.202
pve03 xxx.xx.159.203
I installed another VM on pve02 to use as a template for other VM's (this VM is stopped).
I then went to migrate this to pve03,
The report stated.
Jan 01 17:13:20 starting migration of VM 202 to node 'pve03' (xxx.xx.159.203)
Jan 01 17:13:20 copying disk images
Jan 01 17:13:20 migration finished successfuly (duration 00:00:00)
TASK OK.
All that was copied was the .conf file.

I assume the disk is on shared storage?

I am migrating from one server to another, yes the storage is shared.

Over the next couple of days I will do the copy manually and see what happens.

Hi,
you have selected shared for the storage (so pve must think, the content is on all node the same) but the storage isn't shared!

Simply remove the shared flag (but then you can't use online migration for kvm-VMs).

Better way: use real shared storage (nfs, iSCSI, DRBD...).
