[SOLVED] Problems on migrating container to other node in cluster

[MikeM]

Hi, I set up two proxmox nodes (6.0.6) with a cluster. Now I like to live-migrate a CT (100) to the other node via webgui and ran into following error:

2019-08-28 17:26:54 starting migration of CT 100 to node 'pve0' (192.168.0.5) 2019-08-28 17:26:55 found local volume 'local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0' (in current VM config) 2019-08-28 17:26:55 can't migrate local volume 'local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0': non-migratable snapshot exists 2019-08-28 17:26:55 ERROR: can't migrate CT - check log 2019-08-28 17:26:55 aborting phase 1 - cleanup resources 2019-08-28 17:26:55 start final cleanup 2019-08-28 17:26:55 ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:01): can't migrate CT - check log

What I do not unterstand is:
a) there is a snapshot of CT100
b) why it is non-migratable?

Both nodes do have the exact same configuration (cpu, storage, ram).

Thank you for any hint on that issue!

Snapshots on local storage are not migratable (with the only exception being zfspool).
(neither is live-migration for containers)

I hope this explains it!
