r630-02 VMs Now Visible - Recovery Complete

Date: 2025-01-20
Status: Complete
Result: VMs from former pve2 node now visible on r630-02


Recovery Complete

VM configuration files have been moved from the old pve2 node directory to r630-02, making all VMs visible on r630-02.


What Was Done

Problem Identified

  • VM configuration files existed in /etc/pve/nodes/pve2/ (old node directory)
  • VMs were not visible on r630-02 because configs were in wrong directory
  • Storage volumes existed on r630-02 but VMs weren't registered

Solution Applied

  1. Backed up old pve2 directory
  2. Moved VM configuration files from /etc/pve/nodes/pve2/ to /etc/pve/nodes/r630-02/
  3. Verified VMs are now visible

VMs Recovered

LXC Containers (14 containers)

  • VMID 100 - proxmox-mail-gateway
  • VMID 101
  • VMID 102
  • VMID 103
  • VMID 104
  • VMID 105
  • VMID 130
  • VMID 5000
  • VMID 6200
  • VMID 7800
  • VMID 7801
  • VMID 7802
  • VMID 7810
  • VMID 7811

Storage Mapping

  • thin1 storage: VMIDs 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 130, 5000, 6200 (9 containers)
  • thin4 storage: VMIDs 7800, 7801, 7802, 7810, 7811 (5 containers)

Verification

Check VMs on r630-02

ssh root@192.168.11.12
pct list
qm list

Check Configuration Files

# On cluster (any node)
ls -la /etc/pve/nodes/r630-02/lxc/
ls -la /etc/pve/nodes/r630-02/qemu-server/

Check Storage

# On r630-02
pvesm list thin1
pvesm list thin4

Storage Status

thin1 Storage

  • Total: 226GB
  • Used: 124GB (52.35%) - by recovered VMs
  • Available: 113GB

thin4 Storage

  • Total: 226GB
  • Used: 38GB (16.03%) - by recovered VMs
  • Available: 190GB

All storage volumes are now properly associated with VM configurations.


Next Steps

Verify VM Status

# Check VM status
pct list
pct status <vmid>

# Check VM configuration
pct config <vmid>

Start VMs (if needed)

# Start containers
pct start <vmid>

# Start VMs
qm start <vmid>

Update VM Configurations (if needed)

  • Verify IP addresses are correct
  • Verify network configuration
  • Verify storage paths
  • Update hostnames if needed

Summary

VMs Recovered: 14 containers
Storage: All volumes properly associated
Configuration: All configs moved to r630-02
Status: VMs now visible on r630-02

All VMs from the former pve2 node are now visible and manageable on r630-02.
