Known Issues

Storage Migration

Persistent Volumes (PVs) should not be migrated while attached to a worker node. Potential issues range from needing to copy the data to a new PV to losing the data permanently. To avoid this some preparation needs to be completed before migrating to a different datastore or different ESXi cluster, proceed in this order:

  1. Drain the node from Kubernetes.
  2. Migrate the VM.
  3. Uncordon the node from Kubernetes.

If the possiblity of migration is a concern there is a way to disable all migration on each worker node. This script can be used for disabling methods. Disable the "RelocateVM Task" method for the specific VM, which disables both compute and storage migration.
