qcow2

Hello everyone! I'm setting up GlusterFS in my Proxmox labs, aiming to have shared storage from a single node (the disks are all in one server running GlusterFS server), while the other nodes connect to this server to use its storage. The basic GlusterFS configuration was successful: the other...

Hola y gracias de antemano, tengo un proxmox con informacion y esta tiene una maquina virutal de windows que se ha ido a tomar viento fresco, que no me funciona, esta maquina tiene 3 discos de formato qcow2, uno con el sistema y otros 2 con datos, como el promox me esta haciendo cosas raras y es...

Hi! I am new to PVE, and I am facing a problem that I don't know how to solve, I hope to get some help, thanks! I have created a VM with the system ubuntu-server and I would like to create an initial snapshot before proceeding to the next step. But when I try to create it I encounter this error...

Hi All I have a qcow2 image of Redhat VM. My understanding from the storage guide is that only directory backend that supports qcow2 image. My question is if I have imported a qcow2 image on the directory backend, can I instantiate a VM on some other storage type, like LVM ? I want to use...

Hi, I know that there is already "LVM over iSCSI/FC" for shared block storage (SAN) which carves out LV from a shared VG/LUN for individual VM disks - but with no snapshot and thin provisioning support my question is why is there no (extended) storage plugin which provides 1.) "QCOW2 over/on...

I didn't know in which forum I could've asked, so my apologize for my asking here. Converting a qcow2 image to qcow2 image won't been done properly. Error while comparing with base disk: "Content mismatch". Using -c flag (compressing) will fix this issue. Why is that? actually using the above...

Hallo zusammen, gibt es aktuell Pläne einer Verwirklichung von SAN (iSCSI / SCSI) Support mit Snapshot Funktion bzw. den offiziellen Support eines shared Filesystems um qcow2 verwenden zu können? Falls nicht, gibt es eine Empfehlung welches shared Filesystem hier evtl. gut und sicher in einer...

I created a ZFS RAIDZ storage. What must I do to make this storage support qcow2?

I'm currently writing a script I can invoke from the command line to delete old snapshots in a qcow2 file. I often have more than 10 old snapshots. If I have an arbitrary qcow2 for a VM with arbitrary snapshots going back some months, is there a difference between deleting snapshots from...

Hello, I am preparing to deploy and F5 Networks BigIP onto Proxmox v8.1.4 In my preparation I have been scowring the internet for what looks to be pieces and parts, which is OK... I'm documenting every step. I have seen several posts about downloading the qcow2 image... check As I started...

Hello all, It's probably a dumb question but I'd like some clarifications on QCow2 file and Proxmox. I came from a a basic CentOS + KVM environment and converted it to Proxmox and I don't understand certain aspect. - Why do I have to run "qm importdisk" on qcow2 file before being able to use...

I am using the qcow2 image from Debian 12 for a local vm. I followed the instructions to get and put the file in a new template structure, created a base VM and attached the qcow2 as a virtio disk. The original size once attached was 2GB with about 1.5GB already used. I want to resize this to...

Are there any plans to support VM replication where QCOW2 files are used

I'm running a VM where the boot drive is on ssd's. I'd like to have one of the directories on the OS be backed by my spinning rust pool. On lxc containers I can select a storage option and a path to mount it at within the container, how would I do something similar for a VM? I may have...

My end goal is for a non-root user to import a .qcow2 image in order to create a VM as part of a CI/CD pipeline. I'm currently trying to use the Ansible proxmox_kvm module. Unsurprisingly, I'm hitting the following error due to permissions issues: $ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml...

I did a P to V for a windows machine that created a 175GB vhdx file and then when converting the vhdx file to qcow2 it now shows as 1TB, this makes no sense? The following command is what I used to convert the file: qemu-img convert -O qcow2 DELLM4400.vhdx DELLM4400.qcow2 -p

So Im trying to do the whole convert an existing baremetal windows installation to a KVM. I have been following this tutorial: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE I just had to use different file locations because my PVE storage was too small for 240gb...

Hey every ! so here is my issue, I was doing some networking and had to shutdown my servers, but when I pluged back everything on (like always I have autorestart 1 day per week) But then.. my windows server wasn't booting up.. this is what I get : I think the VM image got deleted but I don't...

I recently reinstalled Proxmox on my system, and prior to the reinstallation, I had an OMV (OpenMediaVault) virtual machine (VM) running on a 4TB HDD (with 1.5TB of total storage in use). However, after reinstalling Proxmox, I encountered an issue when attempting to mount the disk again using...
