Upgrade from 1.x to 2.x - Fail to boot after vmdump/qmrestore

[mattmartincouk]

Hi,

We've got 5 VMs running Linux. They were using SCSI on the previous 1.x version of Proxmox.

All Windows VMs and Linux VMs using Virtio have gone over fine.

Any that use SCSI, failure to boot saying they cannot locate the drive. It's not going to be possible to re-create the VMs from scratch. Are there any tips in how we can get these on version 2.x?

Hi,
depends on your linux-guests. Often its enough to change scsi0 (1...) to ide0 (or better virtio0) in the VM-config.
If the guest use the UUID or lvm in fstab all is fine. In other case perhaps you must boot an live-cd and change the entry (+ recreate the boot-loader).
