Server crash while importing raw image

formatter · Apr 3, 2017

Dear All,

I am new with Proxmox, previously used VmWare. I want to migrate my VmWare VMs into Proxmox, but the biggest one w.r.t. storage continously fails (small ones work). The VM has 920 GB storage, but in the server I am using LVM with 4 disks which sum up to 2.3 TB.

The .vmdk I transformed into a single growable file (with vmware-vdiskmanager) and converted into .raw afterwards (with qemu-img), both on a Windows PC as this crashed the Proxmox server as well. Now I only need to copy the .raw image from an USB drive to /dev/vg-vmdata/vm-100-disk-1, which I use dd command for, but it constantly crashed the server before completing.

Any idea what I do wrong ?

If you need some more input/traces please don't hesitate to ask

Dear All,

I still have the issue above and tried with bigger storages than the .raw file, but no success. With having pv (pipe viewer) installed the dd command is running for 3,5 hours / 566 GB fine, but then the whole host freezes. In /var/log files nothing indicate to this issue, neither on the console or core dumps.

I personally would exclude power and/or temperature problems as the server is running for quite some time with no issue. Also the copy of the same 920GB .raw file from USB drive to a manual created virtual disk works without problems. Only the dd onto the symlink in /dev/vg/vm-100-disk-1 fails, regardless if source is the USB drive or the newly created LV....

For any kind of input, ideas, etc. I would be more than thankful

As an idea, can I make the VM use the .raw file on the ext4 LV I created ? How to do this ?

Hi,
simpy define the storage and copy the raw-file below images, like this

Code:

/mnt/local-vm-store/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw

depends on your storage-name you can add something like this in the VMID.conf

Code:

scsi0: local-vm-store:100/vm-100-disk-1.raw

Hi Udo,

I am still playing to dd/cp the raw image onto the block device (without creating a FS on the LV), but still failing in roughly the middle of the process. When importing the originating .vmdk in VmWare Workstation Player I can run the VM without problems. I am currently trying to re-convert the .vmdk, maybe something went wrong there. But I still have problems to believe this is the root cause for the dd command to fail and freeze the whole server.

W.r.t. disk hardware problems, please find the SMART output below:

Using the method to copy the .qcow2 image to an ext4 filesystem does work, the VM is running normally

. This time I am using a different hard drive, maybe the other has some issue, even though SMART is not reporting problems. And even if so, I don't think this explains why the server is freezing. The other difference now is that I am not using LVM.

Hi,
you can try to move via gui the disk to the lvm-storage and see if it works...

Do I understand you right, that you use single unraided disks? if yes - not realy the right thing for production/home - only for test perhaps. Think about zfs or an real raid-controller.

Hi,
btw. your system is outdated - looks that you don't have enabled the right repostiory (pve-no-subscription if you don't paid for enterprise repro).

Do always an dist-upgrade (not update) after "apt update".

Hi Udo,

unfortunately single unraided disks are case currently due to limitations of my motherboard, and this is why I thought about a mirrored LVM (the mirror I wanted to create with "lvconvert -m1" once the VM was running).

ZFS I didn't consider so far due to the fact I am only having an old AMD CPU and 8 GB memory (see below), but intend to run 4 VMs on it with 1 GB RAM each (all Ubuntu 14.4: 1 SAMBA server + 3 Webserver for personal use). There was a thread in this forum saying 8 GB is the bare minimum to start with... what is your opinion ?

Hi Udo,

thanks for spotting this.

My sources.list is actually updated, but the update/upgrade fails due to the following reason

Alessandro 123 · Apr 7, 2017

I think you have to upgrade with "dist-upgrade". "upgrade" will break PVE install

formatter · Apr 7, 2017

Hi Alessandro,

did that as well (but forgot to paste here), but the some problem:

Hi,
you must disable pve-enterprise in /etc/apt/sources.d/*

Udo

formatter · Apr 7, 2017

Hi Udo,

I did that before, but didn't help. In the meantime I rebooted the server, and now it works

. Well, the result count:

Code:

root@pve:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# uname -a
Linux pve 4.4.49-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.4.49-86 (Thu, 30 Mar 2017 08:39:20 +0200) x86_64 GNU/Linux

About the other topic, your/somebody's recommendation to go ahead with ZFS on my AMD Dual Core / 8 GB RAM system and run 4 VMs on it (details further up), can you share your opinion ?

THX,
Michael
