# r630-01 Migration Status - VMIDs 100-130 and 7800-7811 **Date:** 2025-01-20 **Status:** ⚠️ Migration Blocked - Storage Configuration Issue **Issue:** Source storage (thin1) is disabled on r630-02 --- ## Migration Requirements ### VMs to Migrate **VMIDs 100-130 (7 containers):** 96 GB total - 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 130 **VMIDs 7800-7811 (5 containers):** 210 GB total - 7800, 7801, 7802, 7810, 7811 **Total:** 306 GB required ### r630-01 Storage Available - **thin1:** 208 GB (sufficient for VMIDs 100-130) - **local-lvm:** 200 GB - **local:** 536 GB (sufficient for VMIDs 7800-7811) - **Total:** 944 GB (more than sufficient) --- ## Current Blocking Issue ### Problem: thin1 Storage Disabled on r630-02 **Issue:** - VMs on r630-02 use `thin1` storage - thin1 storage shows as **disabled** on r630-02 - vzdump backup fails: "storage 'thin1' is not available on node 'r630-02'" - Direct migration fails with same error **Storage Status on r630-02:** ``` thin1: disabled (but has volumes!) thin4: active (has VMIDs 7800-7811) ``` --- ## Solution Options ### Option 1: Enable thin1 Storage on r630-02 (Recommended) Enable thin1 storage on r630-02 so backups can work: 1. Check thin1 configuration on r630-02 2. Enable thin1 storage 3. Then perform backup/restore migration **Pros:** Allows standard backup/restore method **Cons:** Requires fixing storage configuration first ### Option 2: Change VM Storage Before Migration 1. Change VM storage to `local` (directory storage, always available) 2. Then migrate normally 3. Optionally change storage on target if needed **Pros:** Works around the disabled storage issue **Cons:** Requires storage change operation first ### Option 3: Manual Storage Volume Copy (Complex) 1. Use LVM commands to copy storage volumes 2. Move/copy VM configs 3. Complex and risky **Pros:** Direct volume copying **Cons:** Very complex, error-prone --- ## Recommended Approach ### Step 1: Enable thin1 Storage on r630-02 Fix the storage configuration so backups can work: ```bash # On r630-02 # Check thin1 configuration cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg | grep -A 6 "lvmthin: thin1" # Enable thin1 storage pvesm set thin1 --disable 0 ``` ### Step 2: Perform Migration Once thin1 is enabled, use backup/restore method: **VMIDs 100-130 → thin1 on r630-01:** ```bash for vmid in 100 101 102 103 104 105 130; do vzdump $vmid --storage local --node r630-02 --compress gzip --mode stop BACKUP=$(ls -t /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-$vmid-*.tar.gz | head -1) pct restore $vmid $BACKUP --storage thin1 --target r630-01 pct destroy $vmid # on source done ``` **VMIDs 7800-7811 → local on r630-01:** ```bash for vmid in 7800 7801 7802 7810 7811; do vzdump $vmid --storage local --node r630-02 --compress gzip --mode stop BACKUP=$(ls -t /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-$vmid-*.tar.gz | head -1) pct restore $vmid $BACKUP --storage local --target r630-01 pct destroy $vmid # on source done ``` --- ## Current Status - ✅ Storage capacity verified (sufficient) - ✅ Migration plan created - ⚠️ **Blocked:** thin1 storage disabled on r630-02 - ⏳ **Next Step:** Enable thin1 storage on r630-02 --- ## Next Steps 1. **Enable thin1 storage on r630-02** 2. **Verify backup works** 3. **Perform migration using backup/restore** 4. **Verify VMs on r630-01** --- **Last Updated:** 2025-01-20 **Status:** ⚠️ **MIGRATION BLOCKED - Storage Configuration Issue**
