Add the ability to move a backup, ISO, container template, snippet, or OVA/OVF between storages and nodes via an API method. Moving a VMA backup to a Proxmox Backup Server requires the proxmox-vma-to-pbs package to be installed. Currently only VMA backups can be moved to a Proxmox Backup Server and moving backups from a Proxmox Backup Server is currently not supported.
The method can be called from the PVE shell with `pvesm move-volume`: ``` pvesm move-volume <source volume> <target storage> [--target-node <node>] [--delete] ``` For example to move a VMA backup to a Proxmox Backup Server: ``` pvesm move-volume \ local:backup/vzdump-qemu-100-2024_06_25-13_08_56.vma.zst pbs ``` Or move a container template to another node and delete the source: ``` pvesm move-volume \ local:vztmpl/devuan-4.0-standard_4.0_amd64.tar.gz local \ --target-node pvenode2 --delete ``` Or use curl to call the API method: ``` curl https://$APINODE:8006/api2/json/nodes/$SOURCENODE/storage/$SOURCESTORAGE/content/$SOURCEVOLUME \ --insecure --cookie "$(<cookie)" -H "$(<csrftoken)" -X POST \ --data-raw "target-storage=$TARGETSTORAGE&target-node=$TARGETNODE" ``` Changes since v5: * Resolve merge conflicts when applying patches 1/7 & 3/7 to current master (e5f4af47d083). Changes since v4: * Remove the volume_move subroutine, instead use storage_migrate for moving volumes between storages on the same node * Avoid ssh when moving a volume between storages on the same node * Add command completion to move-volume parameters * Make the success message of move-volume less verbose for moves within the same node * utf8 encode/decode backup notes during export/import * Support the new "import" volume type * Code cleanup * Add descriptions to single line commit messages Changes since v3: * Split changes into multiple commits * Remove superfluous parentheses from post-ifs * Move vma_to_pbs branch from move_volume into its own helper inside PBSPlugin * Use $! instead of $@ to retrieve unlink error in move_volume * Also support content type 'rootdir' * Rework permission checks on the move API method * Fix permissions description on move API method * Add error for unimplemented content types Changes since v2: * Specify permissions for move method * Add success message to move method * Limit the move method to non-vdisk volumes * Check that source and target are not the same in the move method * Remove the unnecessary movevolume method from pvesm and make the move-volume command call the move API method directly * Fail when trying to move a protected volume with the delete option enabled, instead of ignoring the protection * Change "not yet supported" to "not supported" in messages indicating unimplemented features * Process auxiliary files first when moving a volume locally on a node * Move a volume instead of copying it when trying to move a volume locally on a node with the delete option enabled. * Use the more general `path` function instead of `filesystem_path` to get the path of a volume * Loosen the required privileges to move an ISO or a container template, or when the delete option is not set. * Move the volume_move sub from PVE::Storage to PVE::API2::Storage::Content since it is only used there. * Explicitly check that storages are path-based in volume_move, except when moving a vma to a Proxmox Backup Server Changes since v1: * Rename pvesm command to move-volume * Add a delete option to control whether the source volume should be kept * Move the API method to the POST endpoint of /nodes/{node}/storage/{storage}/content/{volume}, replacing the experimental copy method that has not been used since its introduction in October 2011 883eeea6. * Implement migrating volumes between nodes Filip Schauer (7): plugin: allow volume import of iso, snippets, vztmpl and import api: content: implement moving a volume between storages api: content: support moving backups between path based storages storage: introduce decompress_archive_into_pipe helper support moving VMA backups to PBS pvesm: add a move-volume command storage migrate: avoid ssh when moving a volume locally debian/control | 1 + src/PVE/API2/Storage/Content.pm | 131 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/PVE/CLI/pvesm.pm | 2 + src/PVE/Storage.pm | 80 ++++++++++++------- src/PVE/Storage/PBSPlugin.pm | 65 ++++++++++++++++ src/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm | 112 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 6 files changed, 299 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) -- 2.39.5 _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
