[parker0909]

Hello All,

I got the problem when i try to restore the dump file to other host because the existing may be crashed. We find that we cant restart the virtual machine because the storage name. May i know any method we can restore the vm ?


We are restore the vm from ceph storage to temporarily machine for local storage. Thank you.

The issue should be fixed after i changed the local lvm -data name to 'cccs_storage' . Thank you.
I have another question about dump restore. May i know it is working to restore PVE 6.1 dump file back to PVE 5.4 nodes?

Thank you.

should work (VMA as a file format has been pretty stable). you might need to adapt the config afterwards if you have anything in there that the old version does not support.
