Defined Virtual Machine Behavior During Node Maintenance – Harvester v1.4.0 – Enhancement

Harvester v1.4.0 allows you to define the behavior of individual virtual machines when maintenance mode is enabled on a node. In earlier Harvester versions, enabling maintenance mode results in an attempt to migrate all virtual machines to other nodes in the cluster.

Using a new label, you can force certain virtual machines to shut down or restart instead of migrating to other nodes. The value of the label also determines if those virtual machines remain on the current node or are scheduled elsewhere.

Volker Theile ( shows you how to use the feature in this video.

Harvester is a modern, open, interoperable, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution built on Kubernetes. It is an open-source alternative designed for operators seeking a cloud-native HCI solution. Harvester runs on bare metal servers and provides integrated virtualization and distributed storage capabilities. In addition to traditional virtual machines (VMs), Harvester supports containerized environments automatically through integration with Rancher. It offers a solution that unifies legacy virtualized infrastructure while enabling the adoption of containers from core to edge locations.
