Improvements to Proxmox 4.2

[antoniormjr]

Hello everyone , I will be posting two improvements to the Proxmox developers.
First : When you canceled a backup running a VM status VM is as " locked " being necessary to enter via shell and run the command qm unlock VM_ID .
Second : During restore a VM for the proxmoxo interface ID allows me to create a new VM with the same VM ID to restore underway causing failure VM restore.

I am unable to reproduce both issues...

I can at least verify that the "vm stays locked after problems with a backup" also happends to me several times. This mostly happens when the target storage has some kind of trouble (disk full, network connection lost). But I didn't notices this the last few weeks so maybe the bug is "gone" due to some other work.

Yes this is the accepted behavior.

So user cancellation will not lock the VM. A backup failure will lock the VM so the admin will check why it is locked

It is not possible to create a VM with the same VMID, but it is true the wizard shows the VMID is free.

May be your are on an old version?

Hello , sorry for the delay. The version in which the tests performed are listed below.

I know it's not possible to create a VM with the same ID, however I realized the next test.

- My Proxmox is not with any VM installed.
- Initiate the restore of the VM ID 100
- During the restore process (10%)
- I created a new VM with ID 100
- After the end of the restore fails because there is already a VM ID 100.

In summary the Proxmox could not let me create a VM ID 100 as already used the ID 100 in the restore.

I know Proxmox creates the conf file and the vm ID at the end of the restore, I believe the Proxmox have to first create the conf file and the ID and continue after the disk creation.
