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

Date: 2025-01-20
Status: Plan Ready
Issue: Storage capacity limits migration options


Storage Requirements

VMIDs 100-130 (7 containers)

Total: 96 GB

  • 100: 10 GB
  • 101: 10 GB
  • 102: 2 GB
  • 103: 8 GB
  • 104: 8 GB
  • 105: 8 GB
  • 130: 50 GB

VMIDs 7800-7811 (5 containers)

Total: 210 GB

  • 7800: 50 GB
  • 7801: 50 GB
  • 7802: 30 GB
  • 7810: 50 GB
  • 7811: 30 GB

Combined Total

306 GB required


r630-01 Storage Available

Storage Type Available
thin1 lvmthin 208 GB
local-lvm lvmthin 200 GB
local dir 536 GB
Total 944 GB

Migration Challenge

Problem: Direct migration fails because:

  1. Source VMs use thin1/thin4 storage on r630-02
  2. These storage names don't exist on r630-01 in the same way
  3. Proxmox migration requires compatible storage or backup/restore

Solution Options:

  1. Use backup/restore method
  2. Migrate to available storage (thin1 + local-lvm)
  3. Distribute VMs across multiple storage pools

Option 1: Migrate VMIDs 100-130 to thin1 (96 GB)

  • Fits in thin1 (208 GB > 96 GB)
  • 112 GB remaining on thin1

Option 2: Migrate VMIDs 7800-7811 to local-lvm (210 GB)

  • Fits in local-lvm (200 GB... wait, 210 GB > 200 GB)
  • ⚠️ Requires local-lvm + local or just local

Phase 1: VMIDs 100-130 → thin1

  • Storage: thin1 (208 GB available)
  • Required: 96 GB
  • Margin: 112 GB

Phase 2: VMIDs 7800-7811 → local storage

  • Storage: local (536 GB available) or local-lvm + local
  • Required: 210 GB
  • Available: 536 GB (directory storage)

Migration Method

Since direct migration fails due to storage name differences, use backup/restore method:

Steps for Each VM

  1. Create backup on source node

    # On r630-02
    vzdump <vmid> --storage local --compress gzip --mode stop
    
  2. Restore on target node

    # On r630-02 (can restore to remote node)
    pct restore <vmid> /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-<vmid>-*.tar.gz \
        --storage <target-storage> \
        --target r630-01
    
  3. Delete from source

    pct destroy <vmid>
    

Storage Distribution Plan

thin1 (208 GB):

  • VMIDs 100-130: 96 GB
  • Remaining: 112 GB

local-lvm (200 GB) + local (536 GB):

  • VMIDs 7800-7811: 210 GB
  • Use local storage (536 GB > 210 GB)

Migration Commands

VMIDs 100-130 to thin1

# On r630-02
for vmid in 100 101 102 103 104 105 130; do
    # Backup
    vzdump $vmid --storage local --compress gzip --mode stop
    
    # Restore to r630-01 with thin1 storage
    BACKUP=$(ls -t /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-$vmid-*.tar.gz | head -1)
    pct restore $vmid $BACKUP --storage thin1 --target r630-01
    
    # Delete from source
    pct destroy $vmid
done

VMIDs 7800-7811 to local storage

# On r630-02
for vmid in 7800 7801 7802 7810 7811; do
    # Backup
    vzdump $vmid --storage local --compress gzip --mode stop
    
    # Restore to r630-01 with local storage
    BACKUP=$(ls -t /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-lxc-$vmid-*.tar.gz | head -1)
    pct restore $vmid $BACKUP --storage local --target r630-01
    
    # Delete from source
    pct destroy $vmid
done

Alternative: Use API Migration

If we can resolve the storage issue, API migration would be faster:

# This currently fails due to storage name mismatch
pvesh create /nodes/r630-02/lxc/<vmid>/migrate \
    --target r630-01 \
    --online 0

Summary

Total Storage Needed: 306 GB
Available on r630-01: 944 GB
Status: Sufficient storage available

Recommended Approach:

  • VMIDs 100-130 → thin1 storage (96 GB)
  • VMIDs 7800-7811 → local storage (210 GB)

Migration Method: Backup/Restore (required due to storage name differences)
