r630-01 Migration Complete - VMIDs 100-130 and 7800-7811

Date: 2025-01-20
Status: Migration Complete
Method: Backup/Restore Migration


Executive Summary

Successfully migrated 12 containers from r630-02 to r630-01 using backup/restore method:

  • VMIDs 100-130 (7 containers) → thin1 storage (96 GB)
  • VMIDs 7800-7811 (5 containers) → local storage (210 GB)
  • Total: 306 GB migrated

Migration Details

VMs Migrated

VMIDs 100-130 → thin1 storage:

  • 100: proxmox-mail-gateway
  • 101: proxmox-datacenter-manager
  • 102: cloudflared
  • 103: omada
  • 104: gitea
  • 105: nginxproxymanager
  • 130: monitoring-1

VMIDs 7800-7811 → local storage:

  • 7800: sankofa-api-1
  • 7801: sankofa-portal-1
  • 7802: sankofa-keycloak-1
  • 7810: mim-web-1
  • 7811: mim-api-1

Migration Method

Backup/Restore Process

Used vzdump and pct restore to migrate VMs:

  1. Backup: Created backups on r630-02 using vzdump to local storage
  2. Restore: Restored backups to r630-01 with target storage specification
  3. Verification: Confirmed VMs on target node
  4. Cleanup: Removed original VMs from source

Commands:

# Backup
vzdump <vmid> --storage local --compress gzip --mode stop

# Restore
pct restore <vmid> /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-<vmid>-*.tar.gz \
    --storage <target-storage> \
    --target r630-01

# Cleanup
pct destroy <vmid>  # on source node

Storage Distribution

r630-01 Storage Usage

Storage Type Used Available VMs
thin1 lvmthin 96 GB 112 GB VMIDs 100-130
local dir 210 GB 326 GB VMIDs 7800-7811
Total 306 GB 438 GB 12 containers

Issues Resolved

Storage Configuration Mismatch

Problem:

  • Direct migration failed due to storage volume group mismatch
  • thin1 on r630-02 uses VG thin1, but config said pve
  • thin1 on r630-01 uses VG pve

Solution:

  • Used backup/restore method which bypasses storage configuration issues
  • Allows storage conversion during restore (thin4→local, thin1→thin1)

Verification

Pre-Migration

  • All 12 VMs verified on r630-02
  • Storage capacity confirmed (944 GB available)
  • All VMs in stopped state

Post-Migration

  • All 12 VMs verified on r630-01
  • No VMs remaining on r630-02 for these VMIDs
  • Storage usage confirmed
  • VMs configured correctly

Migration Script

Script: scripts/migrate-vms-backup-restore-final.sh

Features:

  • Automated backup/restore for all VMs
  • Error handling and verification
  • Progress reporting
  • Automatic cleanup

Next Steps

  1. Migration Complete
  2. Verify VM functionality - Start VMs and verify services
  3. Monitor storage usage - Track thin1 and local storage
  4. Cleanup backups - Remove backup files if no longer needed
  5. Update documentation - Document final VM locations

Key Learnings

  1. Backup/Restore Method: Reliable when storage configurations don't match
  2. Storage Conversion: Proxmox automatically converts storage types during restore
  3. Verification: Always verify VMs on target before removing from source
  4. Storage Planning: Separate storage pools (thin1 vs local) for different VM groups
