Backup problems...

[andrea68]

I have a proxmox that do a backup every day on a Qnap iSCSI, it worked very well until ethernet connection crashed.

I restart everything and all the VM's are UP now (and working), but backup not working anymore: everytime a do a backup (even manually) i see a global lock and wait message...

If i search for zdump process I see this:

proxmox:~# ps auxww|grep vzdump

Yes, you can do that.

Ops, I have some problem on one VM:

command '/usr/lib/qemu-server/vmtar -s '/mnt/pve/QNAP/dump/vzdump-qemu-104-2013_02_11-03_46_12.tmp/qemu-server.conf' 'qemu-server.conf' '/mnt/vzsnap0/images/104/vm-104-disk-1.raw' 'vm-disk-ide0.raw' >/mnt/pve/QNAP/dump/vzdump-qemu-104-2013_02_11-03_46_12.dat' failed: interrupted by signal

looks like you still run an old version.?

upgrade howto:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_2.x_to_latest_2.3

and post the output of 'pveversion -v'

 

[andrea68]

I'm on a 2.1

Can I upgrade system safely without restart?

(I read link, it's seems the best is to restart to activate new kernel).

...

 

[tom]

read the howto from my post above.

Thanks.

I can't stop the VM's right now, I come back later to this thread.

Ps.
You don't mention if the how to fit cluster nodes too...
My Vm's resides on a node of a cluster...
