[SOLVED] Replication not working because of not existent disk

[llinty]

Hello,

I have created a replication task for my VM with only two hard disks.

root@server:~# qm config 100
boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0
cores: 4
ide2: none,media=cdrom
memory: 20480
meta: creation-qemu=6.1.0,ctime=1663345612
name: cloud
net0: virtio=6A:CB:91:F7:34:2D,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: l26
scsi0: vm-storage:vm-100-disk-0,size=20G
scsi2: vm-storage:vm-100-disk-2,size=2T
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=df911ecc-3247-49f5-a902-e998e14cef45
sockets: 1
unused0: vm-storage:vm-100-disk-1
vmgenid: 2eedb0ec-1610-4ebe-80a1-747a6a780d04
vmstatestorage: vm-storage

A third disk has been removed some times ago with dataset name 'vm-100-disk-1'. So now there is a gap between the disk with dataset number 0 and 2.

Replication job is failing with the message : zfs error : cannot open 'vm-storage:/vm-100-disk-1' does not exists.

Is it possible to rename the dataset 'vm-100-disk-2' by 'vm-100-disk-1' in a ZFS Volume ?

Regards

Hi,

No. I would remove the unused disk `unused0: vm-storage:vm-100-disk-1` and re-run the replication.

make sure that you have a valid backup of the VM before.

Hi,

yes I didn't see that I have an unused disk in VM configuration. So I have simply removed it from the GUI. However the replication process was still stuck after that. So it is not working if you have a gap between so disks. I have created a new disk associated with scsi1and changed the filesystem partitioning after that in the VM to use it. Now replication is working!

Great! Glad to hear that you solved the issue yourself!
