Configuration file 'nodes/PROXMOX01/lxc/100.conf' does not exist

[AF2017]

Hello,
i created 2 VM Debian and Windows Server 2016 to made some test but now i want to use the command

pct config 100

or

pct config 101

and i have the error

Configuration file 'nodes/PROXMOX01/lxc/100.conf' does not exist

or

Configuration file 'nodes/PROXMOX01/lxc/101.conf' does not exist

. Something seems missing but why?

Actualluay i'm searcing why i can't create a snapshot for the VM 101 (Windows) because the other one i can create it.




Thank you

Hi,
the pct command only affects LXC containers, for VMs you need to use the qm command.

Thank you!

FOr the snaphot do you know why it's only working on linux? (maybe not linked to the type of os... )

root@PROXMOX01:~# qm snapshot 100 test2
snapshotting 'drive-scsi0' (Test:100/vm-100-disk-0.qcow2)
root@PROXMOX01:~# qm snapshot 101 test2
snapshot feature is not available

Thank you !

Snapshots shouldn't discriminate between guest systems, if a snapshot is possible depends on the underlying file system.
I see that you have an additional storage configured, are the vm disks from 101 saved on a different storage backend than 100?
A table of which storage supports snapshots and which don't can be found in our documentation [0].
