Re: [PVE-User] Locking HA during UPS shutdown

[admins@telehouse.solutions]

That was actually a really BAD ADVICE…. as when node initiate maintenance mode it will try to migrate hosted vms … and eventually ends up in the same Lock loop..
what you really need is to remove started vms from ha-manager, so when the node initiate shutdown it will do firstly do regular shutdown vm per vm.

So, do something like below as first command in your NUT command sequence:

for a in `ha-manager status | grep started|awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/vm://g'`; do ha-manager remove $a;done
