PVE Restore Linux Agent Backup to PVE Error in boot and boot.legacy params

Post by vitami »

Hi

When trying to restore a linux agent backup to proxmox VE (8.4.1) using veeam b&r (12.3.2) I keep getting the error
Failed to reach the hypervisor. Error output: 400 Parameter verification failed.

boot: invalid format - format error

boot.legacy: value does not match the regex pattern



qm create <vmid> [OPTIONS]
I think it should be supported according to the docs https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=60

Since it's LVM it does try to create two disks (as stated in the docs) and I also see both of them in the veeam logs as parameters
"scsi0":"STOR_001:95,format=raw","scsi1":"STOR_001:94,format=raw","boot":"order=scsi0,scsi1"
Restoring a windows agent backup finishes without errors.

Is there currently a limitation regarding such restores to proxmox?

Thanks

Yes sorry, case number is #07763536

I since found out that this only happens to lvm based linux systems, when veeam tries to add more than 1 disk to the vm boot order. I'm going to work with support on resolving the case and will post here again if we found the issue.

Turns out the current PVE Plugin is using the wrong delimiter when adding multiple disks to the boot order. Veeam provided a fix to me which solved this issue.
