Hi

When I install proxmox 5 from OVH, I've not LVM-thin. I want it, to have snapshot backups.
So, I follow this guide (h ttps://blog.emaxilde.net/6-Proxmox-VE-4-Migration-de-ext4-vers-LVM-thin.html) to convert to LVM-thin.

After that, I see on Proxmox GUI :
- local
- local-lvm

It seems ok, but I can't create CT on local-lvm. I've only local storage available, not local-lvm.

The guide is for Proxmox4, so maybe something is missing.


=> another problem : I don't see which path use, to send my backup in local-lvm part.

Thanks for your help.

Click to expand...
did you set the local-lvm storage to include 'container' as content type? (datacenter -> storage)
 
Thanks for reply.
Yes, it is.

You have no container template in your "local" storage.
 
I don't see how you see there wasn't template container in 'local' in my picture, but you're right. I forgot to add one after reinstallation.
But the problem is the same, with a template container in 'local'

I can't add template container in local-lvm, the button is not active.
 
the template tab in the wizard is for selecting a source template, the target storage comes in the next panel: 'root disk'
 
pfff ... Sorry for that !
I do not see that.

Thanks for your quick reply !


So now : => another problem : I don't see which path use, to send my backup in local-lvm part.

I have some backup to move in this server.
Where can I send them ? I want them in storage 'local-lvm', but I don't find the path.

Because /var/lib/dump is in 'local' storage, with only 200Go (it was 20Go by default).
 
local-lvm is not a (mounted) filestorage but a block based one, lvs will be created and used, there is no directory where you can put files in
 
Ok, thanks.
So, no possibility, to send my old backups to this storage.

How to do, to export a big backup from Proxmox 3 ?
