Hi, I have a VM in ZPOOL, but I have a backuo, and I tried to resoter it in other server, but It use a LVM. When I initial the restore it, it sent me this message (importat message in color red):

restore vma archive: lzop -d -c /mnt/pve/hb_pve/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2020_03_09-12_17_11.vma.lzo | vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp23309.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp23309

Execute autostart
TASK OK

After all, it was done well, 100%. And I start the VM, and it was look like evrey things was ok. And the VM was with status running. But I tried to open VNC, and I couldnt. So, the VM wasnt initial, and I dont know why.

Can you tell me how can I solve that problem?, thanks.
 
Hi, I found the issue it was fingerprint. I can fix ti with this command:

pvecm updatecerts

It's important execute that command in each node.
 
Hi,
glad you were able to solve the problem.

Regarding the error message:
WARNING: You have not turned on protection against thin pools running out of space.
WARNING: Set activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold below 100 to trigger automatic extension of thin pools before they get full.
Logical volume "vm-113-disk-0" created.
WARNING: Sum of all thin volume sizes (1.17 TiB) exceeds the size of thin pool pve/data and the size of whole volume group (<930.50 GiB).

Volumes on the thin pool have a logical size (how much space the volume can use at most) and a effective size (how much space it currently uses). As long as the sum of the effective sizes of your volumes is not larger than the size of the volume group, it's not really full. But you'll have to be careful. If a volume suddenly needs more space than its effective size, it will be extended and the effective size will increase (at most up to the logical size). The warning tells you that all your volumes together can grow larger than the size of the volume group. So you should either:
  • increase the size of the volume group
  • free up space by either removing volumes you don't need anymore or shrinking some of them, but don't forget to shrink the filesystem on it first!
  • be aware of the fact and monitor how much space the volumes use and ready to react before the volume group is full.
