Enabling HA on All Proxmox Nodes to Ensure VM Availability

  1. Click on the Cluster labeled Datacenter.
  2. Click on the HA option.
  3. Click on Groups to create a server group.

Create a Server Group

  • In the ID field, provide a name for the group (e.g., HA-Group).
  • Select all the Proxmox nodes (e.g., Proxmox-A, Proxmox-B, Proxmox-C).
  • Click on Create.

Add VMs to the HA Group

  1. Return to the main HA tab.
  2. Under the Resources section, click on Add.
  3. Choose the VM to be added to HA.
  4. Select the appropriate Group (e.g., HA-Group).
  5. Click on Add.

By following the above steps, the Proxmox cluster with Ceph-integrated High Availability is fully configured and ready.


NOTE:

  • All VMs configured for HA must reside on a shared datastore.
  • HA will not work properly unless the VMs are stored on shared storage accessible by all Proxmox nodes.
