proxmox v3.4 to v5.1 and "pct restore"

[deang]

I'm in the process of moving my VMs on a proxmox v3.4 system to a proxmox v5.1 system.
I dumped a VM from the v3.4 system and copied it to the v5.1 system, but I'm having trouble getting
"pct restore" to recognize my pool name. At least I think thats the problem.

I have a pool on the v5.1 system called "prox2pool01"

root@proxmox2:~# zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
prox2pool01 24.5T 2.20G 24.5T - 0% 0% 1.00x ONLINE -

root@proxmox2:~# zpool status
pool: prox2pool01
state: ONLINE
scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h0m with 0 errors on Sun Nov 12 00:24:10 2017

sdj ONLINE 0 0 0

errors: No known data errors​

I've copied the lzo from the v3.4 system into a directory /prox2pool01/IMAGES/. But get an error that prox2pool01 doesn't exist when I try the pct restore command on the v5.1 system:

root@proxmox2:~# pct restore 105 /prox2pool01/IMAGES/vzdump-openvz-105-2017_10_23-20_11_08.tar.lzo -pool prox2pool01
403 Permission check failed (pool 'prox2pool01' does not exist)​

I'm sure I'm missing something, but not certain what. thanks -- Dean

Sorry, but option '-pool' is not for zfs pools - it is about grouping VMs ...

Since -pool doesn't go together with zfs pools, what is the propr format of the restore?

 

[dietmar]

You can specify a target storage using the '--storage' parameter ...

Thanks Dietmar, I did a cat of /etc/pve/storage.cfg which showed that "local-zfs" is my storageID. That must be the default. I didn't see the storageID with "zfs status". But its in the storage.cfg. Using that storageID I then was able to do a

pct restore 105 /prox2pool01/IMAGES/vzdump-openvz-105-2017_10_23-20_11_08.tar.lzo -storage local-zfs
