[SOLVED] tried to replace LV in virtual machine and it failed

[oah433]

Hi
Long story short, I have a working VM with the following config:



I created another thin-volume (named 104_replica) in the same thin-pool and did:
dd if=/dev/pve/vm-104-disk-0 of=/dev/pve/104_replica

the result was as shown below:


next I edited the config of the vm-104 machine
which was originally like this:



so I went ahead and change the "virtio0" target to the following:




i.e., i replaced the thin-target from vm-104disk-0 to 104_replica
The machine now refuses to start and shows the following error:
"TASK ERROR: lvm name ' 104_replica' contains illegal characters"


any ideas on how to move next?

the disk naming must conform to specific format. You have an example of the format in the name of the original volume.
Name your new disk vm-104-disk-1, or rename your original disk to vm-104-disk-original and new disk to vm-104-disk-0.
