Restoring container and VMs

[Telemark]

When restoring containers and VMs using the pct restore and qmrestor. How do you get the name in the server tree to have more than just the ID number. The restore works but I’m left with just the ID number in the tree, its not the end of the world, but it wasn’t like that before.

I’m rebuilding PROXMOX from scratch on a new server and I’m restoring a few VM’s and containers.

Thanks

On my machine, the systems have their original name, after a restore using pct restore or qmrestore, and this can be seen in the server tree. Seeing as these names are contained within the config files, I'm not sure why they wouldn't appear. Could you post your pve version? (pveversion -v). Do the systems work okay otherwise? And can the original name be seen in the config file? (e.g. cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf, field name: )

I finally solved it. I deleted the imports and then reimported with the correct storage switch at the end.

qmrestore <filename> ID --storage <storage location>

Previously I missed the --storage from the command.....My fault..

Thanks for the reply.
