vzrestore to other storage

[tsaenger]

Hello,

i got an backup from an existing vzcontainer generated with vzdump. This container stored at the local-Storage-Folder.
Now i would like to restore this container with vzrestore, but it can not be stored at the locale-Storage-Folder because of low Disk.
I generated a new Storeage-Folder called backup with 2TB free HDD.
How can i restore this backup to an other storeage-Folder?
vzresotre name.tgz 104 wont work.

Thanks for help

Do you run your system on a raid volume? if yes, expand the raid volume with additional disks and expand the lvm volume.

OpenVZ containers are always stored on /var/lib/vz, therefore you need to expand this lvm volume by adding physical drives (and growing the partition).

hi,

yes i am using Raid:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg0-root 35G 31G 2.6G 93% /
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 7.8G 220K 7.8G 1% /dev
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 248M 39M 197M 17% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg0-home 2.7T 415G 2.2T 16% /home

how do i expand the lvm volume, that /var/lib/vz will be included?
Do i have to resize vg0-home an create a new vg0-vz with more space?

Thanks a lot

you are using softraid, not supported. your system is not installed by our installer, you got a quite unsuitable partitioning.

your home is huge, but / is very small. this mean you should have a big /var/lib/vz instead of the big home. I stop working on this thread, maybe others from the community can help.

Hi,
thanks.
This was an installation from hetzner-Image.

Thanks a lot

Just to note, Hetzner is still no Proxmox VE partner - if you want reliable Proxmox VE hosting, go here: http://www.proxmox.com/partners/hosting-providers/featured-partners

These companies are supporting the project, so if you buy services there you also support Proxmox VE.

Hello
Sorry if I include another similar theme
I want to make a new machine from the backup of another (openvz)
I have the .tar generated from another machine


vzdump -dumpdir /var/BK/ 705
especially in the LOCAL storage.


Now I need to make another machine from the backups, but in another storage (/mnt/NFS1/private/) (the name of this storage is NFS1)
I try to
vzrestore --storage NFS1 vm204.tar 101
From already thank you very much

This will work in next version.
