    Q: PDM LXC migration drama moving container from Prox9<>Prox8 sanity checking

    Yes, for sure. EOL is EOL. Hopefully to some extent, the only other side benefit of the thread here, is that google indexing will find it, and if someone else is in the same boat in a few months they will find this discussion possibly / see the resolution<>context, and go "Ah, ok, we are good"...

    Q: PDM LXC migration drama moving container from Prox9<>Prox8 sanity checking

    Hi, OK. Thank you for confirming. I think the distinction between "Unpriv: NO" setting in the GUI (ie, this is how it is now) vs trying to flag it as "PRIV: YES" is maybe not entirely clear. But bigger picture, I agree, these are old containers / setup and deployed >more years ago than seems...

    [PDM 1.1.7] Does Live Migration of a Guest between Clusters Require Shared Storage?

    OK! thank you. Generally I don't use ZFS most of the time. Rather I'm working with vanilla ext4 /var/lib/vz mounted filesystem for my VM/LXC storage. so I get the feeling my migrations will be non-sparse-aware (I think). So goes life. I think I had found that if I did a ~100% manual migration...

    Q: PDM LXC migration drama moving container from Prox9<>Prox8 sanity checking

    Hi Fabian, thank you for this reply. Greatly appreciated. This makes sense that the VM are left locked on Source/Target. I think here I just have a learning curve about how PDM works. So that is good! In terms of the original issue, and some followup detail, here is reply/infos: - pveversion...

    [PDM 1.1.7] Does Live Migration of a Guest between Clusters Require Shared Storage?

    Thank you for this detailed reply Fabian, this is all very clear / sounds good. Can you comment on if these migrations are 'sparse file aware' (ie, if I move a VM or Container with a 250gig virtual disk allocated, which is only 10% full, and 90% sparse-empty, do I expect the migration time to be...

    Q: pve8to9 sanity check "pre flight check script" for upgrade > does not flag "cgroup V1 Removal" drama?

    Ah, ha, this is funny. Looking at output from the script, next day/ now that I am reading it and not quite so sleep deprived, it tells me clearly, "SKIP: NOTE: Expensive checks, like CT cgroupv2 compat, not performed without '--full' parameter" So, whoops for me, and good news this is in...

    [PDM 1.1.7] Does Live Migration of a Guest between Clusters Require Shared Storage?

    footnote, for actual maybe clarity. - doing a test of LXC and KVM migrate (live hosts, not PDM) is a good easy way to validate this (ie, live migrate possible vs only stop-start)? - context comment, KVM shared-nothing-live-migration in proxmox showed up as a feature when upstream KVM got this...

    Q: PDM LXC migration drama moving container from Prox9<>Prox8 sanity checking

    Footnote, side quest observation part2. It looks like in my setup, once a PDM managed LXC migration happens. The SRC and TARGET nodes leave the lxc containers tagged in a lock state of "Migrate" and I need to manualy unlock them via CLI. Which is not a big deal. But another hint maybe that...

    [PDM 1.1.7] Does Live Migration of a Guest between Clusters Require Shared Storage?

    Footnote to mention a few thoughts after a break. PDM seems to use new method "VZMTUNNEL" to send stuff from one place to another. I believe this is API-level-based. (ie, not SCP/SFTP so much as - pushing via trusted channel from one place to another / managed by the trusted PDM as...

    Q: PDM LXC migration drama moving container from Prox9<>Prox8 sanity checking

    Hi everyone, just a quick sanity check question. I've been meaning to do some PDM testing and finally got my kick yesterday to get on with it. after first bit of testing I must say, 'very nice' - this looks like a great tool to enhance management options for more complex setup when a simple...

    [PDM 1.1.7] Does Live Migration of a Guest between Clusters Require Shared Storage?

    Hi, I am just testing out this very feature today with my first test-install of Proxmox Data Centre Manager. I've got it linked an 8-node proxmox cluster and also a non-related proxmox standalone node I've been able to move some LXC Containers from one to the other there is shared-nothing here...

    Q: pve8to9 sanity check "pre flight check script" for upgrade > does not flag "cgroup V1 Removal" drama?

    Hi, just a small sanity check question, I am part way through a bit of an adventure today, upgrading some Proxmox cluster nodes from Proxmox8 to 9 everything went great, except I forgot until too late, this breaking deal detail with Proxmox V9 cgroup V1 Removal > means that the old workaround...

    Q: PBS - CLI based 'list snapshots' mini report?

    Thank you Chris - I kind of guessed that might be the case but - I appreciate the clarity. I did a bit of gentle google digging and found that this does a tolerable job of converting output for my purposes in case this is of interest to anyone else. -Tim root@debian:/etc/postfix# cat...

    Q: PBS - CLI based 'list snapshots' mini report?

    Thank you for the quick replies! Michael - I quickly tried this and not sure I will go this route - the backup-client is not installed on my PBS server already. In this particular situation I am attempting to render the backups report locally in the PBS server itself, which is in this case also...

    Q: PBS - CLI based 'list snapshots' mini report?

    Hi, I am trying to figure out if there is a way that I may easily generate a report of "current snapshots overview" via CLI on a PBS server so that I might for example make a little cron job > call a wrapper script > send a nightly report to 'people who are interested' that provides status of...
