Hi all

A few days ago, on the server proxmox a VM would not start which showed me a message VM is locked (backup) when I wanted to start. The programming of the backups is done every Saturday at midnight (automatic). Searching the Internet for the solution for the VM to start was the unlocked vm id command.
The proxmox was installed on zfs with 2 discs of 1 TB each. In the proxmox I have configured 4 virtual. I saw that we can make the backups of the first 2 virtual but the third was not done due to the problem mentioned.
The question is, what can be the cause of this problem?
Some comment that sometimes the same backup process fails. Why does it fail?

Sorry for the way I write, what happens is that I'm using a translator

I hope you can help me
regards
 
Thanks for the reply.

The backup configuration is locally in the default local route (pve). Respect to the logs of the backup process I think they are stored in this path / var / lib / vz / dump / (Please correct me if that is the route to see the logs generated from the backup). As in total I have 4 virtual machines only the first 2 were done correctly and I think these are the logs.

This log is the first of them

Nov 03 00:06:15 INFO: Finished Backup of VM 202 (00:06:13)

Each virtual machine is labeled ID 202 204 205 206 respectively. When I wanted to verify the 205 backup, it was not done and I did not find the 205 log as well as the 206 log. In that route I saw that this directory and this file was created:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Nov 3 00:07 vzdump-qemu-205-2018_11_03-00_07_40.tmp/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.4G Nov 3 00:26 vzdump-qemu-205-2018_11_03-00_07_40.vma.dat

I do not know if these generated files are normal or as a result of the backup problem.
To be honest I have a few months getting acquainted with the proxmox.

Thank
 
Got the same issue last week with a 3 HA VMs backup schedule. The 3 were "error & locked", GUI was showing question marks for nodes and VMs. And same as you, no log for those backups, only .tmp (including a .conf file) directory and empty .dat in my case.
I suspected my NFS server, where the backups were supposed, to be created to be the root cause as df was hanging on /mnt/pve/nfs_server_dedicated_to_backup.

I've removed the storage, force unmount the /mnt/pve/... and added the storage again.

So far no problem.

But I have a question about NFS, each time I remove an NFS storage using the GUI, it disappears correctly on the GUI under storage view but it is kept mounted on all nodes. As I've already faced some "surprises" because of this, I use to force unmount manually the /mnt/pve/... mount point each time I have to delete a storage now.

Cheers
 
Thanks for the reply

I only have this content in the dump directory.

Mounts I did it locally not in a network.
Suggest you do the mount?
