Issue moving Windows Server 2022 VM between hosts

[led1789]

we are running 3 HPE VME servers connected to an Alletra MP. The integration itself went very well.
I have installed a Windows Server 2022 VM with VirtIO drivers and the guest agent.

However, I am facing issues when trying to move this VM from one host to another:

• Live migration (VM powered on):
  I get the error message: “Server must be powered off to move hosts.”

• Cold migration (VM powered off):
  I get the error message: "W2022-01 – Error moving local storage: stat /var/morpheus/kvm/images/morpheus-images: No such file or directory"

So in both cases the migration fails, even though it should work.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior or can point me to what might be missing in the configuration?
Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @led1789 

Looking at the error, it seems you have image stored locally for which  it is unable to migrate.  Kindly check the configuration on this VM, if it is only the ISO image placed locally, kindly Eject ( or remove it by selecting reconfiguration option)  and try migrating.  If boot disk or data disk is placed locally as well, then first move it to shared datastrore like NFS/GFS2/Storage plugin etc  and  try migrating..

I hope this helps!

Thanks
