Hi,
My question is: why can’t we use --target when moving a container into a cluster?
We have a cluster (now with three nodes) and a few “old” LXD nodes. It is possible to add the old LXD nodes as remote on one of the cluster nodes. (And main cluster node is a remote on the old LXD nodes.)
This way it is possible to copy or move containers into the cluster. So far so good. But I would like to be able to place these migration containers on one specific node of the cluster. That is currently not possible, it seems. The cluster picks a node.
My use case is the new nodes in the cluster have more memory and SSDs. So I want to place the more demanding containers on the new cluster node.
What happens now is that I first move the container into the cluster and then I move them to a specific target. You can image that this is time consuming when containers are over 100GB in size.
Let’s look at the error I’m getting
