Dear Proxmox Team,
I am writing to report a persistent issue we are experiencing with VNC port conflicts during VM migration within our Proxmox cluster environment. This problem significantly impacts our operations, and we believe it warrants a permanent solution.
**Issue Description:**
While attempting to migrate VM (ID: 103362) from one node to another within our Proxmox cluster, we consistently encounter the following error message:
**Current Workaround:**
To temporarily resolve this issue, we manually check and configure VNC ports to avoid conflicts before initiating the migration process. While this workaround helps in specific instances, it is not a sustainable or scalable solution, especially in environments with frequent VM migrations.
**Request for Permanent Solution:**
Given the critical nature of this issue, we strongly urge the Proxmox development team to implement a permanent fix. Specifically, we recommend the following:
1. **Automatic VNC Port Management:** Enhance Proxmox to automatically detect and assign available VNC ports during VM migration, preventing conflicts.
**Conclusion:**
This issue disrupts our operations and undermines the efficiency of our virtualized environment. We believe that implementing these improvements will greatly enhance the reliability and user experience of Proxmox.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a timely resolution.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
