After booting a Proxmox node, a VM that was set to autostart failed to do so due to
As you can see from my great naming, the storage is an iSCSI disk image. Usually that storage is always available, unless I boot up the NAS with the iSCSI target at the same time as Proxmox (this happens when power returns after a long (more than 2h) power outage). Proxmox is either so blazingly fast or my NAS is terribly slow at bootup. Either way, there is not much I can do about that.
Is there a way to tell the VM to wait (when autostarting) until the storage is available? Similar to the
I read the documentation and the startup delay doesn't seem to do what I thought it would do. Instead of delaying the startup of the VM, it delays the startup of other VMs.
I can think of a few very hacky workarounds, which seem a bit fragile though. But resource management is part of Proxmox and I think this is not an unfeasible use-case.
If there is no such thing possible, what is the best way to ask for a feature request? Is this even something that the devs would consider?
