Hello everyone,
We have a 4 node proxmox cluster, currently at version 1.6. VM disks are located on a NAS device and accessed via LVM and iSCSI. Recently a node failed with a hardware problem, at which point I could not start any VMs from the failed node on another node, nor could I migrate them or even see them in the WebUI. In order to start the VMs I had to copy files from /etc/qemu-system/ on the failed node manually to a different node.
Luckily the disk hadn't failed catastrophically and I was able to restore the files, as there were no backups of the slave node.
Is there another way to do this in the WebUI that I missed? Are these files now stored/synchronized between nodes perhaps in 1.7? If not, I suppose backups should be in order.
Here's some more information about my system:
Proxmox 1.6
Thanks,
Richard
