vz migration - do not remove from source node*

[narel]

Hi,

vzmigrate has an option --remove-area which keeps container data on a source node. Is there any way to achieve this with Proxmox web interface? I have a Proxmox cluster without shared storage and I'd like to keep container files even on a node where the container is not active (to make further migrations between nodes quicker).

no, there is no such option.

while this is by no means supported, a guy posted the files you need to modify to make what you want to happen: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/9305-VZ-migrate-speed-up-rsync-if-you-have-enought-space

I used that on a 2.2 node (its been a while) and while the line numbers were off (because he based it on an even older version), the correct lines were easily spotted and the same procedure works just fine.

note that this doesnt use --remove-area or anything like that, you simply remove the --remove from the actual rsync invocations
