Hi,

We have done new setup with 3 hosts HA Cluster, We are doing migration from Host1 to Host2/Host3, its showing error

Offline Migration Issue:

When we do offline migration its migrating to other Host, but while starting VM in other Host its getting below error "TASK ERROR: volume 'OVI10:251/vm-251-disk-1.qcow2' does not exist"
Code:

We are using same pveversion in all the hosts and also ISO and DISK image is under shared storage
 
please also include the output of "pveversion -v" and the storage configuration ("/etc/pve/storage.cfg")

Hi,
looks that you marked the storage OVI10 as shared, but on the destination-node the storage don't excist (or an simple non-shared one).

We have mounted /var/lib/vz/data_ovi as a seperate drive in SAN volume group and its shared storage for all the three hosts
 
Hi dietmar,

Mounted with ext4 file system in SAN LUN. Once VM created in host1, in host2 vm disk file not showing in Host2 ==> Storage ==> Content . After remounting the shared storage partition from Host2 Vm disk file is showing in Host2 ==> Storage ==> Content.

VM disk file is not populating automatically to all the Hosts

VM disk file is not populating automatically to all the Hosts. We are using Multipath concept
 
ext4 is not a cluster file system.

Ext4 is not a shared file system, so you can mount it only once. But it will lead to data loss if you mount the same share on multiple hosts using ext4 (never do that).

Thank you. Please suggest me a way to configure SAN storage in cluster. Our main objective is to provide VM's to our customer on high availability, pls suggest us how do we connect storage to the proxmox servers. (We are setting up 4 node clusters with FC SAN storage)
