[SOLVED] VM State storage

[kifeo]

Hello,

I checked the VM Options, and at the bottom I saw "VM State storage"

What is it used for ? I could not find documentation regarding this.

thanks !

Regards,
Thomas.

I quote from our docs:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#qm_hibernate

You can suspend a VM to disk with the GUI option Hibernate or with
qm suspend ID --todisk
That means that the current content of the memory will be saved onto disk and the VM gets stopped. On the next start, the memory content will be loaded and the VM can continue where it was left off.
State storage selection
If no target storage for the memory is given, it will be automatically chosen, the first of:

1. The storage vmstatestorage from the VM config.
2. The first shared storage from any VM disk.
3. The first non-shared storage from any VM disk.
4. The storage local as a fallback.

Hi Tim,

I'm really sorry not having found this part of doc, I used a search with the "VM State storage" and got no result, but 'vmstatestorage' does.

Thank you for the reply !

Best Regards,
Thomas.
