Hi,
When we tried to restore a VM in Proxmox getting the error below

Task viewer: VM 118 - Restore

OutputStatus

Stop
rbd: create error: 2022-03-30T22:00:59.148+0800 7f1d189981c0 -1 librbd: rbd image vm-118-cloudinit already exists
error before or during data restore, some or all disks were not completely restored. VM 118 state is NOT cleaned up.
TASK ERROR: rbd create 'vm-118-cloudinit' error: rbd: create error: 2022-03-30T22:00:59.148+0800 7f1d189981c0 -1 librbd: rbd image vm-118-cloudinit already exists



Anyone can advise on this?

Thank you
 
Hi,
it seems like there is a left-over cloud-init disk from an older VM or operation that wasn't cleaned up properly. Please try again after removing it.
 
Hi,

May I know how we can remove this from our side?

Please advise.
 
It should be possible with pvesm free <insert your storage ID here>:vm-118-cloudinit or directly with the appropriate rbd command.
