proxmox 2.0 to 1.9 .raw

[psauxw]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it's possible to copy a .raw VM image from proxmox 2.0 (or 2.1) to a proxmox 1.9.
I would test it myself but I only have 1 server at the moment and I wanted to maybe downgrade it from 2.1 to 1.9.

Thanks for your time =)

Hi,
of course yes. You can also copy an raw-file direct to an hdd (with dd) and boot from this disk. A raw-file is the direct "image" of an hdd.

You can also copy the config-file and you need only small changes there (mainly network). But for security reason you should better go for pve2.x instead on a lenny-box!

Thank you for your answer.

I don't know why but windows 2008 and windows 7 seems to run better on proxmox 1.9 than 2.0+ with the same exact config (cache,ram, space, paravirtualized eth) I will investigate on that... that's the main reason I wanted to downgrade my box

Do you have some benchmarks that can demonstrate the issue you see?

If you do maybe some of us can help you solve the problem.

It appears the problem was in my head only =P ... I downgraded for nothing its a chance I saved the .raw
Thanks again for your time.
