Mulesoft Integration Issue: Proxmox Cluster and NFS Share

[stevediaz]

Hello Proxmox Community,

I'm currently working on an integration project involving Mulesoft and Proxmox. I've encountered a unique challenge that I hope someone can shed light on.

Here's a brief overview of the scenario:

1. Proxmox Cluster: We have a Proxmox cluster with three nodes, each with two network ports. Network port 1 handles system management and inter-cluster communication, while network port 2 is dedicated to business operations and communicates with storage.
2. Mulesoft Integration: Mulesoft applications run on virtual machines (VMs) in the Proxmox cluster. VM system and data disks are mounted on network port 2 via NFS shares.
3. Issue: When network port 2 on a node disconnects and loses access to the NFS share, the VMs on that node become non-functional. However, they don't migrate automatically to other nodes with functional network ports.

Is there a configuration that enables automatic VM migration when a node loses connectivity to the NFS share? We'd like to ensure seamless operations even in the face of network disruptions.

Furthermore, I've noticed that when a Proxmox node is manually restarted or shut down, the VMs residing on that node don't automatically migrate to other available nodes. Is there a way to set up automatic VM migration in these scenarios to enhance reliability and minimize downtime?

i have checked Mulesoft Certification https://forum.proxmox.com/forums/proxmox-ve-1-x-installation-and-configuration.12/ for guidence .

Any insights or guidance on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and expertise!

VMs will only be started on another node when the whole node is down.

you need to handle network redundancy with nic bonding for example.

Proxmox HA only manage host down or corosync cluster network down.
