[SOLVED] Unable to create or import VMs

[Daerimin]

Greetings, all. I am new to PVE - I have done a good bit of searching about this issue, but don't have much to show for it. I'm hoping someone here can help.

I have been converting an ESX cluster over to PVE. The node in question is 7.0 on a DL380 G7, 64Gb, 10Tb RAID 1+0 (SATA Drives) via HP P411 in a KTN-STL3. On my most recent OVF import, the "qm importovf" command created two copies of the VM, 107 and 108 - not sure why. The 2nd copy was identical to the first, so I deleted it. Upon trying to then import the next VM, I am now getting this error:

WARNING: PMBR signature detected on /dev/sas/vm-200-disk-0 at offset 510. Wipe it? [y/n]: [n]
  Aborted wiping of PMBR.
  1 existing signature left on the device.
  Failed to wipe signatures on logical volume sas/vm-200-disk-0.
error during import, cleaning up created resources...
import failed - lvcreate 'sas/vm-200-disk-0' error:   Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.

I would guess that this error has something to do with the deleted VM, but I'm not sure and I don't want to bork things up. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this resolved?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,

There was a change in LVM to make it a bit more cautious when creating new LVs, the libpve-storage-perl version 7.0-9 adapted to that.

Ensure you got repos for Proxmox VE setup (Node -> Repositories) and update to latest and greatest - that should normally already be enough to fix this.

Boom... solved.

MANY thanks.

Can you explain what that means? I've got nothing listed under Updates and my repository looks like the attachment.

Not sure where to go from here.

 

[Daerimin]

Under the Updates option is a Repositories option. In there, you need to Add a repo, and there's one in the list that's for free-tier users ("No Subscription") - once you add that repo, click on "Updates" and do a Refresh - new updates will show up. Install, reboot, win.

When I click add, nothing happens. Is a dialog supposed to open?

 

[Daerimin]

Definitely.

When you click "Add", the attached dialog should show. You'll probably get that typical message first, "You don't have a valid subscription.." - once you Ok that, the real dialog should appear:

Ok, it wasn't showing up because I had disabled that "No valid subscription" dialog in code. I reverted the file to my backup, and now I can add the repo. Just rebooted and I can create VM's again. I LOVE YOU.

 

[Daerimin]

Sweet. Glad you’re back in the game!
