    vzdump for weekly and monthly backups as well as backup-retention/rotation

    Hi in the PVE2.1 GUI the backup seems a bit limited, one can not add the "maxfiles" parameter using the GUI, therefore it would seem only one copy is saved during any backuprun. I added manually the maxfiles in the /etc/cron.d/vzdump file, but the not there is warning about any changes one...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    well, thank you, but today the ServeRAID 8k system gave itself a killshot after during the backup-run.after the power-reset the vzsnap is still here: LV Name /dev/pve/vzsnap-k81-0 VG Name pve LV UUID krLMDp-ZGkt-ybWA-26FE-ZpyR-t3c9-VCONRD LV Write...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    Hiwe tested the vzdump for both machines last night and it seems to work without any trouble.I'm still not totally confident, that we might not run into the same problem again, but I hope it was something related to the previous 2.6.32-10 kernel.we're now running:pveversion -vpve-manager: 2.0-57...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    Now I get you - yes both servers had the snapshot still there (and active) - we had to lvremove it after the reboot. regards hk

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    Hi, I agree on the snapshot problem, but "lvdisplay" simply hangs in this situation and reports nothing back. the backup-storage is a mounted nfs-target in one situation and a separate volumegroup mounted as /backup/ in the other situation. Question here would be: Could vzdump handle such a...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    we have seen the problem on ext3 (the first three posts reported exactly that) and on ext4 (the second report I shortened and therefore got pointed to the bugzilla-entry, but this bug 2085 doesn't seem to send the lvm on this machine to nirvana).we have had (as mentioned) the issue on totally...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    Yes of course it's hardware-raid. load since last (forced) powercycle: uptime 01:37:03 up 1 day, 14:50, 1 user, load average: 0.32, 0.35, 0.36 now we have seen the very same behaviour on another system (totally different: cpu, ram, raid-controller, ... all different). different syslog...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    hi definitely reproduceable - it seems if we do manual backup using snapshots this does virtually not happen, but if vzdump is doing all backups it seems that lvm is much more unstable (maybe it needs some time to recover after a snapshot has been removed?) and this seems reproducable on at...

    vzdump using lvm snapshot - kills the box

    this is it - calling "lvdisplay" to see the problem in detail doesn't respond anything (task hangs), lvremove for the presumed snapshot doesn't work either. this is really messy and any input on how to resolve this is greatly appreciated. regards hk

    fence_ipmilan oddities

    If your BMC and eg. eth0 share the same ethernetport this is quite normal, you could usually work around by using a vlan tag for the ipmi-interface or simply connect another ethernetinface to your local network (eth1) and set ipmi-IP-address to something that shares the subnet with your eth1...

    lvm snapshots on shared storage

    Hi I'd like to know if someone already tested this with PVE 2.0 RC1: assuming two nodes share one iSCSI target or drbd-blockdevice where several lvm volumes reside and vzdump processes backups in parallel using lvm snapshots from both nodes - is this (I remember in 1.9 it is) still a problem or...

    GUI restore starts multiple tasks

    I agree, but this happened to me because the GUI was slow to respond, I did not intentionally restore the same backup into the same VEID, therefore I opt for some kind of locking here (simply disable the restore button after it has been clicked could suffice). Also I'd consider two admins...

    VE 2.0 RC1 - backup seriously flawed!

    as some files (all that have had i/o errors) are down to 0 bytes I can assume the backup is not ok.
