Proxmox 7.1 - Migrate partially failed

[kobaz]

I have an issue with the following nodes and guests in my cluster

pmvm-01
  local-lvm
     vm-102-disk-0
     vm-104-disk-0

pmvm-03
  102 -- missing disk (needs vm-102-disk-0)
  104 -- missing disk (needs vm-104-disk-0)

I had a power failure and pmvm-01 was down and looks like (partially) migrated guests to pmvm-03

It only coppied the configuration but not the disks... what would be the process to move these back to pmvm-01 without losing data?

Thanks!

Hi,
you could manually move the configs back to the node where the disks are.
For that you have to move them from /etc/pve/nodes/pmvm-03/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf to /etc/pve/nodes/pmvm-01/qemu-server/<vmid.conf>. A few moments after moving, the ui should show the vms back in pmvm-01 and if the disk images are intact, the vms should start right up.

Hi,
could it be that you had HA enabled for these VMs? You need shared storage for that (or replicated ZFS): https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-ha-manager.html#_requirements

HA might have been enabled. Shouldn't it not be possible to HA non-compatible guests? I would think this would be a good feature to have.

Thanks.

Got it going by moving the configs and then doing

ha-manager set vm:102 --state disabled
ha-manager set vm:102 --state started


ha-manager set vm:104 --state disabled
ha-manager set vm:104 --state started

Looks like you can't set disabled from the gui
