VM HA Questions

[tjk]

Hi All, I have two questions regarding VM's and HA on PVE clusters.

1. Is there an option to add the VM to HA on creation via the GUI, I am not seeing anything in the GUI allowing me to add HA protection when creating the VM.

2. It looks like PVE will restart a VM even if it is shut down via the guest. Is there a way to allow a VM to be turned off without HA automatically turning it on, or do you have to remove the VM from HA each time you want to be able to turn the VM off for config changes/testing/etc?

feel free to create a feature request on our bugtracker for this.

You don't have to remove it from HA, but you'll have to shutdown the VM via HA, by changing the state with e.g. ha-manager set vm:110 --state stopped or using the usual Shutdown button in the UI.
