Hello,
After completing a migration from a Proxmox host to another I have been unable to bring up the migrated VM.
Attached to this question, the migration took forever even if both proxmox share the same external storage.

This is the message that get when trying to bring up the VM:

proxmox1:~# qm start 102
kvm: -drive file=/mnt/storage/images/102/vm-102-disk-1.raw,if=ide,index=0,cache=none,boot=on: could not open disk image /mnt/storage/images/102/vm-102-disk-1.raw: Invalid argument

Thanks,
 
Seems there are problems accessing "/mnt/storage/images/102/vm-102-disk-1.raw" - is that some kind of shared storage? Please can you post your storage configuration?

# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

and what is the output of

# ls -l /mnt/storage/images/102/
 
On the destination machine are they KVM machines which are in running state?
R U sure that the vt is enabled in the bios?

Here you go:
roxmox1:~# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content images,iso,vztmpl,rootdir
dir: ISO
path /mnt/os
content iso
dir: Storage
path /mnt/storage
content images
dir: Backup
path /mnt/storage/backup
content backup


proxmox1:~# ls -l /mnt/storage/images/102/
total 7940204
-rwxrwxrwx 1 503 503 16106127360 Oct 20 00:06 vm-102-disk-1.raw

It's a shared storage, and they both have access to it
Thanks,
 
Hello,

yes, Proxmox is able to run on both machines, this VM was running until yesterday that decided to migrate it from host 2 to host 1
 
THat's a good question....
its not listed under /etc/passwd

also tried changing ownership and get this error:
proxmox1:/mnt/storage/images/102# chown root.root vm-102-disk-1.raw
chown: changing ownership of `vm-102-disk-1.raw': Invalid argument

Now, my other VM has these same strange permissions and its working fine....

There is obviously something wrong with that storage. I have no information about that storage, so it is difficult to guess whats wrong.
