VM not starting on Proxmox when added to HA

I have created a storage class using Proxmox plugin and created a shared storage called "SSY-Storage".
Now when the VM is not added to HA, I can migrate the VM between nodes freely, but as soon as I add the node to HA, the migrate and VM start fails.

When the VM is added as HA, I get these errors.
Requesting HA start for VM 100
service 'vm:100' in error state, must be disabled and fixed first
TASK ERROR: command 'ha-manager set vm:100 --state started' failed: exit code 255
and
task started by HA resource agent
TASK ERROR: storage 'SSY-Storage' does not exist

I have seen the solution in multiple threads of either Removing the HA, or disabling it.

Is there a permanent solution to this since this is a shared storage and failover/migrate must happen gracefully.
If there is any logs or pics you request, I can send it here.

Thank You
 
Does "SSY-Storage" show up on all nodes when doing? pvesm status

What are the status of ha-manager? ha-manager status
Sorry for the late reply.

The storage is shared between only the first 2 Proxmox nodes. The first 2 nodes are in HCI setup(VMs act as storage providers, they consume the storage disks available in the Proxmox nodes and one software SANsymphony ensures that we can pool those disks and create mirrored virtual disks that ensures HA).

pvesm status is showing the "SSY-Storage" in the first 2 nodes. The third node does not have any such VM to act as storage providers. So this is the output.

Here is the output of 'ha-manager status'. Third node is idle.

The screenshot shows that PVE3/ssy-storage has question mark, i.e. not active/configured. Could this be related?

This is the output in the third node for pvesm status.

EDIT:
I discovered the question mark thing. Apparently I shared the 'SSY-Storage' with all the nodes instead of only the first 2 nodes.

Now it looks like this.
