[resolved] HA with 3 Servers - Failover not working

[bill_mustermann]

Hi,

i have a HA Cluster with proxmox4 created. in my HA Group are all 3 Servers.

Now i have a VM running on node 2. When i shutdown node 2 i get a message that all VMS on node 2 are shutdown and node 2 is shutdown.

BUT...the VM is not running on node 1 or node 3 after i shutdown node 2.

Any ideas where i can look to find the reason why?

regards,

Hello!

 Note: When you gracefully shutdown a node, it services won't get migrated by the HA stack. You have to migrate them manually before you power off your node (for example for hardware maintenance)

more info: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster_4.x
for test HA, try removing the network cable on the node. Good luck!

What's the reason for that, btw?

The dev's felt that a shutdown was a planned event. So you should live migrate the VM before shutting down a node. They are going to add a patch to make this a configuration option.
