Hi all,
I'm sure I've screwed myself over at this point but hoping there's someone smarter to point me in the right direction.

I tried setting up HA on a container and now seem to be in a situation where the CT, config and everything is on node 1 but the container volume is on node 2 with no obvious way to migrate the container or disk :S

Any help much appreciated

Edit: I did also try connecting through WinSCP but 38KB was the largest file found

You should be able to simply move the CT's config file in /etc/pve into the other node's directory. Might be a good idea to temporarily stop HA. Fiddling with configs like that is kinda messy but I can't think of a more proper way right now and this is probably what I'd do.

Love the idea, makes total sense, unfortunately it thinks it already exists :/

Ok, so think ive managed to fix it, i setup a new lxc, changed the config to use the original disk, cloned it and now able to migrate ok

Now time to look at backups :P
