Deleting storage problem and backup question.

Hello everbody,

I'm little stuck with these 2 problems :


1. On the web interface, I created a LVM Storage and I was surprised that its 99.7% full !

So I wanted to delete it ( with the web interface ) and I got a popup with this error :

Error: command '/sbin/vgchange -aln pve' failed with exit code 5

So its impossible to delete this ? Maybe there is a special command to do it ?


2. I want to use the backup job management with the web interface but it told me that I need a backup storage first. How can I do this ?
I also see that there is only VZDUMP backup, so how can I backup KVM raw files ? with a NFS Storage ?


Thank you for your help ! :cool:

I am sure you you not want to delete this (all you data is on that VG).

If you just want to remove if from the list, directly edit /etc/pve/storage.cfg

NOTE: Volume group 'pve' is the one used by the system
 
2. I want to use the backup job management with the web interface but it told me that I need a backup storage first. How can I do this ?

On the web interface, section "Configuration/Storage".

I also see that there is only VZDUMP backup, so how can I backup KVM raw files ? with a NFS Storage ?

vzdump handles raw files and nfs storage - whats the problem?
 
Ah, I thought that VZDUmp backups was deisgned vor openVZ VM files, but like you said, it's compatible for KVM VM as well !

Thank you for your support ! :)
