I'm currently using KVM and libvirt with two *unclustered* servers and shared storage [*], but am considering migrating to Proxmox because I want to switch to lighter weight containers.
At the moment, with libvirt, on the first server I create a VM and run 'virsh dumpxml <vmname>', copy the resulting XML over to the second server (or write it to the shared storage) and run 'virsh define <xmlfile>' and then the VM is available on both servers. I then manually start the VM on one server only. What is the equivalent procedure for Proxmox? (Ideally a procedure that works for both KVM-based VMs and containers.) I was hoping that vzdump might have a '--config-only' option and that there would be a 'vzload' command, but I don't find either of these things. Googling turns up plenty of results for migrating the entire VM, but I really want *only* the config, not the image / container tree. If it's as simple as rsyncing over some directories, then is it then necessary to 'nudge' the GUI, to get it to notice the changes? Thanks! Alexis [*] The shared storage is DRBD running in primary/primary mode with OCFS2 filesystem on top. It's obviously not immune to split brain, but recovery is straightforward and very rare. It's been quite suitable for home, but IO is relatively slow. _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
