Hi,

The hard disk is on another node. The local-lvm datastore is local to the host - not a shared storage. So when a virtual machine failed on one host it cannot be restarted on the other. You have to move the virtual machine back to the other host or migrate the disk to this particular node.
 
Based on the screenshot, VM102 exists on node2, but the issue is that the VM disk vm-102-disk-0 exists on local-lvm of Server3.

I am not sure why vm-102-disk-0, which should originally have been on local-lvm of node2, was moved. However, in this state, it should not be possible to move the VM or its storage using Proxmox features such as VM migration or storage migration.

If you want to move the VM, move /etc/pve/nodes/Servername/qemu-server/vmid.conf to the node where the storage exists.
If you want to move the storage, move vm-102-disk-0 to the node where the VM exists.
