Hello,
I just started with linstor and installed a proxmox testcluster with three nodes. The first two have storage, the third one is a diskless (except the rootdisk) node.
PVE: 9.1.7
root@pve-test-1:~# dpkg -l | grep linstor
ii linstor-client 1.27.1-1 all Linstor client command line tool
ii linstor-common 1.33.2-1 all DRBD distributed resource management utility
ii linstor-controller 1.33.2-1 all DRBD distributed resource management utility
ii linstor-gui 2.4.0-1 all Administration GUI for LINSTOR clusters.
ii linstor-proxmox 8.2.0-1 all DRBD distributed resource management utility
ii linstor-satellite 1.33.2-1 all DRBD distributed resource management utility
ii python-linstor 1.27.1-1 all Linstor python api library
Linstor configuration:
root@pve-test-1:~# linstor n l; linstor sp l; linstor rg l; linstor rd l; linstor r l; linstor v l

I created a lxc on the first node, started it and moved the container around over all three nodes => Everything works.
Then I activated HA for this container. When I move it around, I get the error:
task started by HA resource agent
file /etc/pve/storage.cfg line 12 (skip section 'stor-ssd'): unsupported type 'drbd'
file /etc/pve/storage.cfg line 17 (skip section 'stor-hdd'): unsupported type 'drbd'
TASK ERROR: storage 'stor-hdd' does not exist
As soon as I remove the HA config, its working again.
If I simulate a node failure, HA works in some cases, mostly the same error appears.
Any idea what’s possibly wrong?
Thanks a lot! Thomas
