Migration from Archipel

[bpa59]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate from ArchipelProject to proxmox.
Libvirt, qcow2 are used so, it is quiet easy to import VMs.

My problem is about, VM with snapshot.
Archipel create snapshot with some special character ie 11313-ZDDSZE-2232323-22323321

When I am trying to create the snaphot configuration into the vid.conf, the "-" is not valid ; so I can not use my snaphot.

As it seems, it is not possible to rename a snaphot with qemu-img ; so, even if I change the snapshot name into my vid.conf file, it will be useless.

It is possible to authorize "-" for a snapshot name ?

Any tips or advice ?

Many thanks

Maybe you can rename the snapshot somehow (rollback, and create again with new name)?

Hello Dietmar,

Thanks for your anwser.
It may be possible with only one snapshot, but all my qcow2 drive contains 3 or 4 snap so, I think it is not possible to rename with this method.

I've a lot of docs, and renaming a snapshot is not possible or I do not found how to do that.

Perhaps, I could export the snaphot as an external snapshot, but Proxmox do not manage external snapshot.

I think the best choise is to change (just if I need te revert) syntax check of a snapshot name to accept the "-" but I do not find how.

Thanks for your help and ideas

I think it would be better to add snapshot rename functionality to the qemu-img tool.
