OK.

Having noted the above I can say an affa --rise worked well on Sunday for our 450 gig of data on 10rc1 for both the source and destination VMs.
I would only state "seemed" to work well, potentials issues are more subtle than a server broken immediately...
could be a rpm file with SME9 version instead of SME10, could be permissions on a file or folder ....

but as this is your choice to take this path, please in case of issue, report how you migrated your server.

I also note the warning that "Your server has too much data for a reliable backup to desktop" for the standard backup mechanism.
Well backup to desktop, in other words download a tar archive thru apache, is as a result limited in size, and is only one of the multiple mechanisms for backup.
The first you should use, is rather to connect to your server console, and use the backup console menu, to backup to USB, or attached disk
Another alternative could be the dar backup form the same menu you saw the message that the " backup to desktop" was not possible.
I will not unroll here the backup on tape ;)
All of this is explained in SME Server Manual.

Just the usual. affa --rise
I failed to appreciate that while data is data, Centos 7 is not Centos 6.

In terms of ongoing problems dhcpd won't start and I have cvm-unix.service failures. I wonder if the latter is due to gremlins in the system. I could not find much documentation on that.

Backup and restore through the web GUI using nfs to a workstation seems workable for our VMs. Emulating a USB drive looks to be a pain.

indeed CentOS 7 is not CentOS 6

dhcpd : update to last available e-smith-base...
cvm-unix : will need more  to be able to help

if you use a vm simply try to add another virtual disk as sata. most of the time the console backup sees it. We should change the USB term to removable...

Good to have dhcpd back.

The top entry is the crash report.

The second entry shows lots of cvm-unix logs for users unknown to our systems. I presume these are not external attempts to login but I cannot tell.

SME Server found no USB, SCSI, SATA or VirtIO discs in the console backup procedure for our iscsi vms on debian stable KMV machines

good news for dhcp

for cvm from what i read it works

it is only used by qpsmtpd and sqpsmtpd. so check if those attempts are correlated with log in qpsmtpd but i would say, yes they are


for virtual disk backup (sata mode) all i can say it works with proxmox 6 which is debian based and with virtio on fedora.

ah yes, seeing you did not update to last available for SME 10, for it to work you need the last version available of e-smith-backup.
if you did not update for a while, you will need to first update smeserver-yum with all repo disabled except smeupdates.

May be a non issue however, with my Prox VMs I have to have allocated a USB device in the hardware setup of the VM.
