VM template HA state

[Ammon]

Hello everyone,

There exists the possibility to define HA state on templates for VM resources within Proxmox environments. When doing so the HA manager tries to implement the HA state according to the configuration defined. In case of the HA state 'started' it fails implementing the state.

I am aware that the basic feature for providing HA to resources does not make sense for VM templates as those are no running resources within the environment. Even more so the manager failing to implement the HA state on the template when set to 'started' should even be the expected state (as far as I am concerned).

I would still like to see either of the following 3 options instead of the current behaviour of an expected failure if possible:

1. If the resource is a VM template the HA manager should not try to implement the HA state generally
2. If the resource is a VM template the HA manager should not try to implement the HA state 'started'
3. There should not be a HA state on VM template resources

The possibility to define a default HA state without throwing them into an 'expected-error' state for templates seems valuable (it would be for our implementation).

Kind regards
Ammon

Hi @Ammon

thanks for posting in the forum!

This seems reasonable but as you mentioned not an unexpected behavior on the HA side.

Please feel free to open a Feature Request for improvement in the Bugzilla [1]

Yours sincerely
