PROXMOX 1004

Error Message: Source VM not found.

Error Description: This error occurs when the source VM has been deleted on the Proxmox node.

Error Solution: If a virtual machine configured for backup is deleted from the Proxmox environment, the subsequent backup job will fail. To prevent further errors, the subsequent discovery job will automatically disable that VM from the backup schedule. The disabled VM remains available for restore.


Additional check:
On the backup proxy, verify the configuration file located at:
/etc/Druva/EnterpriseWorkloads/proxmox/ProxmoxConfig.yaml
Ensure that the client_id parameter is correctly configured and not equal to 0.
If the value is 0, you must rerun the command to refresh the proxy credentials. For more information, see Activate and set credentials.

Error Message: Snapshot creation failed.

Error Description: This error occurs when snapshot creation fails during the backup.

Error Solution: Ensure that the Proxmox Node PAM credentials configured in the backup proxy VM have sufficient permissions. You can also check the backup proxy logs for more details.

Note that snapshot creation may also fail if the source VM is in a locked state or destination storage becomes full.

PROXMOX 1007

Error Message: Unsupported storage type.

Error Description: This error occurs if a virtual machine configured for backup contains disks residing on storage types other than LVM-Thin or ZFS.
