[SOLVED] Unable to clone VM across Nodes with ansible script

[david.59]

Hello
I am new to Proxmox and don't know a lot about it tbh.
I was able to clone VMs from one storage to another storage on one Node with my ansible script as well as just clone it to the same storage.
I tried the same but it does not work; let's say from Node1 to Node2

I have a shared storage where the template is stored (it's an iSCSI storage)

ansible version:
ansible [core 2.14.2]
config file = /home/labor/prov/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/home/labor/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/labor/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0] (/usr/bin/python3)
jinja version = 3.0.3
libyaml = True

with Proxmox Virtual Environment 6.3-2

The Error message is;

The full traceback is:

If I have a look at "/etc/pve/qemu-server/*" Node2 is unable to see the 145.conf despite saving it on a shared storage.

 

[david.59]

I had to use Node1 as "node1" and Node2 as "target"
Snipped:
node: "Node1"
target: "Node2"
