this was a double thread, by jonathan2493. add this previous answer: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/20929-move-proxmox-vm-out-of-proxmox Marco

this slightly seems like a disguised spam post for this bacula4hosts, maybe I'm wrong, but I can't resist an ordered list of questions... :) DAS? sorry did you mean NAS? Or? if you ask me, without a cluster, using more than 1 pve node is meaningless. sorry? can't get the relation between a...

take care that your pve host and all vm will be directly on the internet (I guess), so without any protection in front. Marco

Yes, that is what I suggested, just move the .conf, (I did it some times, since I have a 2 node not-HA setup with share disks) but the VM has to be restarted and the disk could have problems since it was left there when the vm just crashed with the crashed node. As you said, you're already on...

...maybe I don't understand but... if the node is DOWN, how can you select _that_ VM from the node and transfer it elsewhere..? If it had disk on shared storage, it should have survived but the VM is DOWN. So VM ram is gone and its config is not reachable, at least from the (before) running...

...sorry, where in that page can I find about setting a disk serial number? smbios has an option, but disks? Thanks Marco

true you can have several types of shared storages (aka network storages) in proxmox. About NFS, if you have a reliable and capable NFS server is good to use in production, too. see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model on this wiki page you'll see that some storage will not support...

if you can read italian (or gtranslate this post) https://anzelmo.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/installare-una-licenza-rok-o-oem-di-windows-su-una-macchina-virtuale-con-kvm/ this guy seems to have found a solution... (well... for kvm) Marco

simplest: stop the vm, copy its .conf and all disks to the ubuntu server otherwise backup and restore on ubuntu server after installing vma tools there (http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/14226-VMA-archive-restore-outside-of-Proxmox?p=103447#post103447) another way, treating it as a physical...

sounds very cool, but how is this going to work in the future? will it be the next default/optional/mandatory pve fs, is it thought to replace hardware raid for pve nodes, what else? please give me a broad view picture to understand why it's been tested, I'm soo n00b in zfs... sorry Marco

I never tried, but it could work https://openvz.org/Bind_mounts but beware, in any way that folder is shared, same concerns remain. Plan carefully. Marco

if you wish to use it as a network share in windows, you could install samba on the host sharing /backups, and mount that samba share inside windows, as any other network share. of course this could expose all files there to all the users able to access that /backup share, in any way they can...

see, because you say "node 1, node 2 and node 3" I guess they are inside the same pve cluster? if yes, then pve cluster shares same storages (even those for backups) between all its nodes. so if you create a storage, you create that at cluster ("datacenter") level, and all nodes see it. if it...

if I get what you mean, you can do best this not doing it in the first place. imho it is a very bad idea... just think again about this. is that vm (and all the other's) backup going to be stored on itself? really? but you could do that using the vm to serve a network folder, somehow, and mount...

I guess your question is not too clear... you wish to see /backups inside the windows vm as... what? a disk? a network share? something else? is that /backup going to be used only by that vm? Marco

didn't get this. how can a cluster coordinate migration if it does not manage the relevant networks? if you need more bandwidth, the best way is to use multiple bridges on the nodes: assign to vmbr0 (always used by cluster) the fast network for cluster oprations, and use another vmbrX (on...

Today I was about to delete the CT, to restore its backup as same CTID, when I noticed that near the "remove" button there is "unmount". so, I realized this could have been made to overcome the "cant overwrite mounted container (500)" message I got previously... after "unmounting" the CT, I...

yes, probably, but then it doesn''t make sense then! in the pve gui the restore option is enabled for a selected CT: you can select the storage, but the CTID is preselecteda and cannot be changed. but it cannot work, apparently, exactly as you said... ?? instead, if I try the restore from the...

sure... IIRC, it was this: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/20752-Found-duplicate-PV udo replied with some strange info I didn't understand... then I created this current thread to ask for more info... Thanks, Marco

...tried that way, didn't work: "cant overwrite mounted container (500)" ? Anyone has a clue and/or suggestions? Marco
