So, I can run a ping on this VM to my other host and if I want, I can just click on Migrate and I'll migrate this VM from host 1 over to host 2, click Migrate and I'll go through the process to migrate this VM. As you can see in the background, it is still pinging, then this screen will, once that VM is moved from host 1 over to host 2, this screen will go blank and then it will present that VM over on host 2. And you can see by the number of pings that most time it doesn't even drop a ping when it changes from one host to the other or we've seen some instances where it drops a minimal number of pings. So, now it's back over on host number 2 and as you can see, it's still pinging in that environment.

TL;DR

  • StorMagic SvSAN enables live VM migration between nodes in a 2-node Proxmox VE cluster with no interruption to running workloads.
  • A continuous ping test during migration confirms near-zero packet loss, with most migrations completing without dropping a single ping.
  • The demo uses a Linux Ubuntu VM to illustrate real-world high-availability behavior in a minimal, cost-effective two-node cluster configuration.

Summary

This short technical demonstration shows StorMagic Technical Services Engineer Stuart Campbell performing a live VM migration within a 2-node Proxmox Virtual Environment cluster powered by StorMagic SvSAN. A Linux Ubuntu virtual machine is migrated from host 1 to host 2 while a continuous ping test runs in the background, visually confirming that network connectivity is maintained throughout the process. The migration completes with zero dropped pings in most cases — and at most only a minimal number — demonstrating the high-availability capabilities that SvSAN delivers in a Proxmox environment. This clip is an excerpt from a full-length SvSAN on Proxmox live demo and is aimed at infrastructure engineers evaluating shared storage and HA options for small or edge deployments running Proxmox VE.

FAQ

Does the VM experience any downtime during live migration with SvSAN on Proxmox?

In most cases, no. The demo shows a continuous ping test running throughout the migration from host 1 to host 2, with zero dropped pings. In some instances, a minimal number of pings may be lost, but service disruption is negligible.
