I restarted all my computers in the cluster and now for some reason the VM was transferred automatically from node 5 to node 2. On node 2 I can see the VM but it no longer starts and I cannot move it back to node 5 where it was originally, I didn't realise I had HA on for this VM and so this is probably why it has migrated to node 2, I have since deleted the HA config for it but still, unable to start, clone or migrate the VM back to node 5 as I keep seeing this error:
2024-01-05 00:56:50 starting migration of VM 101 to node 'pve-5' (172.16.82.208)
2024-01-05 00:56:50 found local disk 'local-zfs:vm-101-disk-0' (attached)
2024-01-05 00:56:50 can't migrate local disk 'local-zfs:vm-101-disk-0': zfs error: cannot open 'rpool/data/vm-101-disk-0': dataset does not exist
2024-01-05 00:56:50 ERROR: Problem found while scanning volumes - can't migrate VM - check log

2024-01-05 00:56:50 ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:01): Problem found while scanning volumes - can't migrate VM - check log
TASK ERROR: migration aborted

When trying to rescue the vm by cloning it:


()
zfs error: cannot open 'rpool': no such pool

zfs error: cannot open 'rpool': no such pool

TASK ERROR: clone failed: could not activate storage 'local-zfs', zfs error: cannot import 'rpool': no such pool available

Note I can see the "vm-101-disk-0" in the node 5's "local-zfs" tab under "VM Disks" but the VM continues to be missing from the node-5 dropdown and only appears in the node-2 dropdown (unstartable and unmigrateable).
