Restore LVM thin Backup to LVM Storage

[bumann]

Hi,

i want to transfer a VM (LVM thin) to another Server which uses only LVM Storage (no thin).
I have backup the VM to my NAS, but when i want to restore the Backup to the other Server,
qmrestore give me the error "pve/data is not a thin pool"

Can you help me to find a solution for my problem?!

do you restore via GUI or via CLI?

if you use CLI, please post the used command.

i uses command "qmrestore backupdata110.vma.lzo 110" on bash on the new server with only lvm storage (no thin).

Please can you post your storage configuration /etc/pve/storage.cfg?

Storage.cfg:

dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content iso,backup,vztmpl

lvmthin: local-lvm
vgname pve
thinpool data
content images,rootdir

nfs: syno-buero
server 192.168.110.60
path /mnt/pve/syno-buero
export /volumeUSB1/usbshare
content backup
maxfiles 1
options vers=3

nfs: BuffaloNAS
server 192.168.110.61
path /mnt/pve/BuffaloNAS
export /mnt/array1/BackupStorageBuffalo
content vztmpl,images,iso,backup,rootdir
maxfiles 1
options vers=3

Oh, I think the Problem come from switching the storage from lvm-thin to lvm after the installation?!

I did it like https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/local-lvm-storage-and-vm-format.27209/page-2#post-137212

You still have lvmthin storage local-lvm configured, so restore tries to use that. Please specify another storage if you do not want to use this one ("qmrestore ... --storage <XXXX>").

ok, that sounds good. Thank you very much.

Can i delete the

lvmthin: local-lvm
vgname pve
thinpool data
content images,rootdir

from the storage config? is there a another thing to to after that? I have two node cluster.

Yes, you can do that.
