[SOLVED] LXC Images

[ThinkPrivacy]

So I have my cluster up and running then the other day one of my LXC container had an issue and crashed - I am not sure how but now the configuration file is on one node (node 2) and the raw container image is on another (node 3). I am unable to start the container on either node (presumably because no node has both parts).

How can I move the container raw image back to node 2?

I tried setting up a config file on node 3 but when I try to run it it gives me a networking error - so I presume I need to try to get the raw image back to node 2.

Thanks for any help.

(yes I will backup the container once I have it up and running again - I learnt my lesson).

Just move the file to the correct node. Here an example

mv /etc/pve/nodes/<src_node>/lxc/<vmid>.conf /etc/pve/nodes/<target_node>/lxc/

BTW: Why do you have a cluster if you're not using a cluster filesystem? Moving the config file suggests that you enabled HA, is that right?

I am using Ceph and yes I had the container on HA I was pretty sure I had set the container to use the Ceph pool but for some reason it is on local-lvm storage on node 3 - so either I screwed up and didn't select the Ceph storage pool or something funky happened during HA trying to move it to Node 3 - I really have no idea at this point, I just need to get it back up and then explore the possibility of moving it onto Ceph and re-enabling HA.

OK that worked and then I was able to move the image to the Ceph pool and everything is working again - thanks.

Perfect!
