Hi all.
I just got my new server and I wanted to migrate some of my cts and vms from my old server (node1) to the new server (node2). So what I did, was
0. upgrade node1 from Proxmox 8.1.* (latest) to 9.1
1. to create a cluster on node1
2. join the cluster from node2
3. this is where it got stuck... right-click migrate CT target: node2

Issue:
ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:00): storage 'local-zfs' is not available on node 'node2'


Configuration:
node1 has "local-zfs"
node2, when I select all nodes (or each one specifcally) in Datacenter / Storage has "status unknown" on node2

The storage.cfg tells - yes the local-zfs is there, at least configured, bit the zpool list tells no

node1: Intel Xeon, Proxmox 9.1 (upgrded)
node2: Intel Ultra 9, Proxmox 9.1 (brand new)


I already tried restarting both servers, modifying the storages back and forth but I still got my issue. I feel like have forgotten something really basic, and I'm already really sorry, but any help is highly appreciated.
 
The storage.cfg tells - yes the local-zfs is there, at least configured,
There's your misunderstanding: not "storage.cfg" tells you that it is there. You told the storage system that it does exist.

bit the zpool list tells no
So... I would trust this one ;-)

Post the full output of zpool status from each node and the output of cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg once. Then we will see... :-)
