Good day,

I am looking for some insight into a lab setup of Proxmox VE 8.3 I am testing with. The goal would be HA with failover. The setup is as follows:

2 servers with SAS controllers (1 Linux workstation as a QDevice to meet the requirement of 3)
1 SAN with redundant SAS connections
Multipath setup for 2 connections from redundant controllers on SAN
LVM storage configuration

I have several servers running without issue but when I try to migrate the VM from one host to the other, it seems to kick off a copy of data which seems illogical since the entire VM should be running within the shared storage container. Can anyone shed some light on why migrating compute seems to also force some sort of storage data migration as well? The disks seem to be recreated with new numbers at end because it sees the originals and conflicts, creating more drives with (3), (4), (5) etc. at the end.

As I am new to this setup, I am looking for thoughts, ideas, best practices and suggestions. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
