Hello all,

I just installed proxmox on a new Optiplex to act as a new node for my little homelab. It has one NIC and on SSD and I installed and configured the OS and it all seems to be working. I was able to create a cluster and then join the new node to the cluster without any issues. Now the issue arises when I try to move a live VM from one node to another. I get an error:

Code:
2020-03-21 10:48:19 starting migration of VM 113 to node 'proxmox-pve-optiplex980' (192.168.1.14)

Here is the output of the pveversion -v on the new node:

Anyone have any ideas what the issue might be? I am sure it has something to do with my storage configuration but I am not super famialir with Linux storage configs. Any help or advice would be great!
 
Hi,

can you please send the config of the VM

Code:
qm conf 113

I was actually just about to post that I solved the issue. I the VM I was trying to migrate, was simply larger then the node I was trying to migrate it too. So naturally that is not going to work. Thank for taking the time to help me though!
