snapshot

Hi, We thought about something that could be usefull for anybody : snapshot expiration date. When you take a snapshot, we could have an option with a tick box, then you set a date or a duration after which the snapshot is deleted automatically by the hypervisor. If I talk about our case : when...

Hi I am conducting some testing of storage-based snapshots using Proxmox with NFS. Proxmox version: 8.4.1. While copying back a storage snapshot of a qcow2 image file to an existing VM (while in shutdown state) I can see different VM snapshot inventories depending on tools being used. The...

In Proxmox 8.4, the Esxi storage type appeared. But this type is not mentioned in the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html Could you please tell me which values have Esxi for `Level`, `Shared`, and `Snapshots`?

Hello, We have set up a SAS storage array with two Dell nodes and configured multipath, but I can only mount the volume using LVM in a shared mode within the cluster. The issue I’m facing is that I’m unable to create snapshots on this shared volume, and backups have to be performed in a...

Hello, I have a backup job running every day backing up my VMs using snapshot mode. Everything is running ok but sometimes one specific VM freezes (I have 4 VMs running but it happens only with one of them). At the exact time of the backup the VM stop responding (even from the console) and I can...

Ich entschuldige mich schon Mal im Voraus: ich bin nicht Forumserfahren, habe mir meine Linux (Univention, Debian, Ubuntu) Erfahrung selber angeeignet, und bin gerade auf dem Weg selbiges mit Proxmox zu tun. Ich möchte in meinem kleinen Betrieb (ca. 10 Mitarbeiter) gerne folgendes Szenario...

Hi everyone, I’m running a Proxmox VE cluster (PVE 8.x) with three nodes and have a daily ZFS replication job configured. One of our VMs has a snapshot named Test (created on 2024-11-18) that I would like to delete, but I’m receiving the following error when trying to remove it: TASK ERROR...

Hi all, We're running into a limitation in the GUI when trying to clone a vm from a snapshot on ZFS storage. On LVM this works fine, I know this works a bit different and also allows for non-linear snapshots which ZFS doesn't. A full clone however should be possible in my AFAIK. I'm able to...

Hello, We are currently developing a script to get the creation date of a snapshot from a VM using this command : pvesh get "/nodes/$NODE/qemu/$VMID/snapshot" --output-format=json |jq .[].snaptime But we cannot understand the syntax/format of the output : 1734579627 1734423758 1734423290...

Hello! can i delete a snap like: STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-disk-0 STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge simply: zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge ? Thanks

Hi, I have 2 servers Proxmox with ZFS as storage. I create 1 CT with 1 root disk on SSD ZFS and 1 mount point on the HDD ZFS I create a replication rule on the 2nd serveur : all is OK ! I do the "same thing" with another CT, but I have always the following error : 2024-11-09 13:55:11...

Dear Proxmox community, I run PVE 8.2.7 installed on Debian 12 (as I wanted to have a full disk encryption via Secure Boot) with encrypted ZFS pool. Then I created a dataset with some custom attributes (compression, quotas, refQuotas) and added it via GUI - Datacenter -> Storage -> Add ->...

Learning ZFS replication / live migration. ZFS replication + live migration for 2 node small biz environments a pretty neat feature - one up on ESXi local VMFS6 datastores. I've been reading through some of the documentation regarding ZFS replication / snapshots + qemu guest agent in regards to...

Hello! I'm a total and complete newb on Proxmox, heck, using this has made me realized even the things I thought I knew, well, I don't. At all. I've created a Proxmox VE that lives atop Debian 12 on an Intel NUC for hosting a few LXCs for a Home Server using mostly ttecks's scripts, (for now...

Are there plans for native FibreChannel support and an alternative to vmfs? I think this is a crucial factor for many enterprise customers. In my opinion, Proxmox needs to completely reorient itself in the storage area in order to take off in the enterprise environment. Many customers are...

I've been using snapshots for quite a long time (usually before doing any upgrades in VM) and all worked flawlessly. Until yesterday. I use PVE 8.2.4 and this might be the first snapshot done after recent PVE updates. While doing snapshot (with RAM) I noticed that its size keeps growing well...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to snapshot/rollback VMs with terraform (specifically with the bpg provider). And if not, how else have you done it? I was thinking either through the CLI or Proxmox API, you could automate the process but I wasn't sure which would be easier/less error prone

My proxmox server has been backing up numerous virtual machines for a substantial amount of time without issue. About a month ago one of my VMs started to fail backing up. As of right now I don't have much to go on. I have run fsck on the disks partitions that it would work on and nothing came...

ha alguma forma de atraves do qm snapshot definir em qual unidade de disco sera feita a image? Is there any way to use QM Snapshot to define which disk unit the image will be made on?

Hello! I have a very strange problem and don't know what I have to do now. Today i deleted snapshot with --force option from one of my VM that has attached 4TB .qcow2 disk. This snapshot is probably very old cause i totally forgot about this. After the snapshot is deleted my VM shows around 100%...
