Proxmox storage names and migration question

[mailinglists]

Hi guys,

in order for VM migration to work, one must have same storage names on all nodes, right?
For example: local-zfs which is usually backed by zfs rpool.

So in order for VM to migrate from storage called, let's say local-lvm, one must create a storage called local-lvm on destination node, right?

So the only thing is important is, that there is the same storage name and not where it actually points, right?

So I could just create a new ZFS pool, or even a new dataset, for example rpool/formerHDDs and add it as new storage called local-lvm and migration would work?

No that didn't work. Because you add this in storage tab and you have to set on wich note that storage should be enabled. So you can't add two storages with the same name and an other pointer.

create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': storage ID 'local-lvm' already defined (500)
