Proxmox Cluster ZFS Issue Resolved.

So, today I waned to make it so I could migrate and replicate my VMs across my 2 Proxmox nodes. This was a pain in the ass.

Part1 Replication

I needed to fix replication because when I tired to enabled it on a VM I would get the error of “missing replicate feature on volume ‘vm-drives:10X/vm-10X-disk-0.qcow2’ (500)”

The fix for this was to enable sharing on my existing directories and create a new ZFS pool mapping it to the existing VM-Drives directory

Example:

Enable Sharing on the VM drive directory

Create the ZFS Pool pointing to the VM directory

Once this was done I was able to enable replication between the 2 nodes.

Part2 Migration

This was failing because I needed to move all disks to the zpool-vms directory. Note – Windows VMs have an additional EFI drive that needs to be moved also and cant be moved while the VM is online.

Example:

change the hard drive and EFI to point to the new ZFSPool

Linux VMs didn’t have an any issues with this migration process after moving the drive to the ZFS pool.

After this change try to do a migration of the VM.
