Hello :) restoring a VM with a different ID to have a dev-env of the vm host machine. But it just hung at the end stage and my original running machine starting acting funny and some services starting crashing. The proxmox host also had problems in the messages. dmesg from proxmox host...

pct restore 1234 /data/dump/vzdump-lxc-110-2020_11_06-22_38_25.tar.zst -ignore-unpack-errors 1 -unprivileged --storage data should do it :) tick the feature keyctl and nested and run

but by default the disks don't seem to be raw bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 8 cpu: host ide2: none,media=cdrom memory: 131076 name: storage1 net0: virtio=22:97:A8:69:F6:94,bridge=vmbr0,tag=1 net1: virtio=CE:AF:C7:22:C5:1E,bridge=vmbr0,tag=1 numa: 1 onboot: 1 ostype: l26 scsi0...

I have a PERC H730 Mini in HBA mode on Dell R730. I have all 8 disks in HBA, not using the RAID at all. Set up using ZFS 4 way mirror. I am using writeback for the vm disks, SCSI virtIO. When should the VM disk's cache get flushed? As proxmox is constantly running out of physical memory...

installed the ovs packages from debs before rebooting: libatomic1_6.3.0-18+deb9u1_amd64.deb net-tools_1.60+git20161116.90da8a0-1_amd64.deb openvswitch-common_2.6.2~pre+git20161223-3_amd64.deb openvswitch-switch_2.6.2~pre+git20161223-3_amd64.deb uuid-runtime_2.29.2-1+deb9u1_amd64.deb So I can...

This was due the ZFS import not working when booting. Once I imported the rpool correctly on /rpool it all started to work. But I still have to fix this somehow in the startup. once the pool is imported and mounted correctly ie /rpool/data etc... then I zfs mount -a to get the vm disks...

UPDATE! I'm back in BIZ! I would like to thank you tremendously for your help Stoiko Ivanov, a true legend. I think I will be buying the support from now on :) Cheers, John

I need to rsync the packages that I installed, especially OVS as i am VLAN:n a lot of the machines... otherwise using a local repo to install them is a little more tricky. I cant get internet access with out the OVS in place. I have it on a private net at the moment, so just copying the...

copied over the /var/lib/vz from the ROOT/pve-1 put zfs-local in storage1.cgf , stop pve cluster proc, copied over db files. Reboot? :) edit, I didn't see your post as I was writing this! :) THANKS!

But what bothers me, a can not access the old (rpool/ROOT/pve-1/etc/pve directory, is this a special mount for this FS? using FUSE, but how I mount it after the pool is imported and zfs mounted, i have no clue. If I could see this, then it will make this easier :)

# default image store on ZFS based installation zfspool: rpool pool rpool/data sparse content images,rootdir I suppose adding this and copying the sqlite db files over and a reboot should do it?

Recovery If you have major problems with your Proxmox VE host, e.g. hardware issues, it could be helpful to just copy the pmxcfs database file /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db and move it to a new Proxmox VE host. On the new host (with nothing running), you need to stop the pve-cluster service and...
