[Venkata]

Hi All,
I took backup of windows8 vm and i trying to run same backup file into another node. But in second node that backup file is not running. same process i did for NAS4FREE vm, that is running perfectly. Windows 8 vm and microtic router vm is not running. both proxmox servers in same versions.

i did process like this:
1. first i created storage with supporting of VZDumbbackupfile,
2. i went backup tab of windowsvm and selected backup button, i choose respective storage and snapshot[live backup] and LZO.
3. once back created, with the use of winscp, i downloaded backup file into my local system and placed into another proxmox node[in same VZDumbackfile storage]
4. in Second node, first i had selected backup vm and clicked restore button, vm created.
5. when i am trying to power on that vm, its not getting powering on..

this is what i did,,, same process i did for nas4free... nas4free vm working well in second node..

if any other process is there please let me know.[don't say cluster, because i looking for with out cluster]

Hi,
what output do you got, if you try to start the VM from the console?

qm start VMID
# like "qm start 123"

can you also post the VM-config?

cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/VMID.conf

Hi, most likely the conf is referring to some unavailable resource.

you can
- post the vm .conf file here so others can spot possible problems there
- try to start the vm from the node command line, like

#qm start <VMID>

you should get an error message where you should see reported problems that prevent your vm to boot.
