[SOLVED] [PVE 4.3] How clone a container with pct

[Antoine Ouvrard]

Hi everyone,

I discovered Proxmox (4.3) and I have one question for you.

I would like update my LXC containers to Proxmox and mostly I used bash command lxc-copy and i would like find equivalent with Proxmox.

When I try command pct clone in CT Proxmox; I always this answer :

Linked clone feature for 'pool1:101/vm-101-disk-1.raw' is not available

Same with LVM or Directory storage type.

I don't understand why.

Thx,

Antoine

you can do a backup and restore, the clone feature is not yet completely implemented (but it's in the works).

Ok thx Fabian, I try this.

Good luck!

In fact I succeeded with two command :

• pct template 100 -experimental
• pct clone 100 400 -experimental
  

  create linked clone of mountpoint rootfs (local-lvm:base-100-disk-1)
  Logical volume "vm-400-disk-1" created.

When you do this though the mac address for the network is still the same. how do you set it up so it will generate new ssh keys and mac

Any news about this point? Thanks!

IIRC, the following was the last version of that patch series, which has not yet been cleaned up (once more) and re-submitted for review:
