Sorry I'm still very basic in linux side. Can someone clarify for me how to restore one of the kvm's back to my iscsi disks instead of local?

vzdump --restore vzdump-777.tar 600 Should I just copy the tar to the container on iscsi and then run the vzdump?

Thanks,

Andy

see 'man qmrestore' (qmrestore was introduced in 1.4).
 
qmrestore --storage openfiler /backup/vzdump-qemu-110.tgz 998


Ok I got it. One last question, when I put a id for example 998 and it doesn't complete, if I try to reuse that id it fails with a lock error. Is there something that I need to clear to be able to use the id again?

Sorry, I cant reproduce that error. So how can I reproduce it? What error message do you get exactly?
 
If there is a problem restoring to a id and I retry it that's when I receive the "trying to acquire lock". It appears to go away after some time but for me it was a couple of hours before it cleared.
