Hello all!
This is the first time I've used the migrate feature.

I have two nodes in a cluster, and I was looking to move all containers from Node 1 to Node 2.

I used the bulk migration option, and it migrated more than half of the containers that I have.

However, for some reason, there are a select few containers that won't migrate to Node 2.

Here's the error:

And these are the logs I could find:

I don't believe I have an unusual setup, it's a 2 TB NVME drive with the OS and container storage using EXT4.

I do have the required space.

I do have a PBS and do know I can back them up there, then restore to Node 2, but I want to understand why the migration feature isn't working for me.

Thank you in advanced for the assistance!

I'd recommend something like ZFS for a cluster. Also note that live vs offline migration makes a difference. Try both. What does pct listsnapshot 136 say?
Your logs show 122 but the error comes from 136.

According to the log (please use text inside of CODE-tags) there are snapshots in your container that cannot be migrated. Please share the container configuration (pct config 136 in CODE-tags please).

Here's what the command you listed outputs:

And ahh, alrighty, I'll keep that in mind then since I'm most likely gonna fully wipe this once I migrate the containers.

Do pct delsnapshot 136 vzdump then try to migrate again.

Got it, thank you!
Had to remove the backups for all containers, because they had multiple with diff names then the migration worked.

For anyone else having this issue, here are the commands I ran to look for backups and delete them.


To scan for snapshots

For containers:

pct listsnapshot [CONTAINER ID]

For VM's:

qm listsnapshot [VM ID]


To delete snapshots

For containers:

pct delsnapshot [CONTAINER ID] [BACKUP NAME]

For VM's:

qm delsnapshot [VM ID] [BACKUP NAME]
