Proxmox config files?

[Alex5154]

Hello.

Where are the config files for the virtual machines on Proxmox VE 3.4? I cant find any in /etc/pve

The VM Confs are in:

/etc/pve/qemu-server and this is a Simbolic Link from /etc/pve/nodes/YOURNODE/qemu-server

You could do: #updatedb and after that, #locate VM_ID.conf

Hi,
look into /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>/qemu-server/ for VMs and /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>/openvz/ for Containers (in 3.4 in 4.0 it's the lxc folder).
Change <nodename> to the respective node name.

Note also that we have a symlink where /etc/pve/qemu-server/ points at the local nodes qemu-server folder.

I cant find any files, im currently in rescue mod and mounted my old drive to get only the important images from it.

That would be a good thing to mention if asking such questions, makes helping you easier.

The cluster file system is not mounted and thus you do not see any config files.

Try to mount it with:

pmxcfs -l

Which mounts it in local mode, additional info can be found here:

Else backup /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db and maybe also /var/lib/pve-cluster/backup/* that is the database were the configs reside.
