proxmox - Migrate and attach existing disk of a VM to another VM on remote machine -


there 2 physical servers proxmox (proxmox-ve 4.2) installed on them, each 1 handles few vms , containers. these servers (almost) isolated , there no cluster/shared storage/additional storage, etc. between them.

a vm has been setup , configured it's os , application(s) on proxmox#1 should moved proxmox#2. in prior versions of proxmox, easy moving vm's disk image server using rsync or scp. in recent versions of proxmox, storage storing vm's disk separated parent host using lvmthin , there logical volume every single vm, state, snapshot, etc.

as not want install os , setup applications, how can migrate existing vm disk image proxmox#1 proxmox#2 , attach vm created main disk?

i found tricky way , it's easy can not believe.

on source (proxmox #1):

first, have use "move disk" in order access vm's disk raw or qcow2 file. using web interface, go datacenter --> storage , select local. click editand in content drop down, select disk image ("iso image", "container template" , "vzdump backup file" selected). put "max backups" 0 or 1 if ok button disabled. select vm on left, go hardware tab, select hard disk , click move disk. on target storage of pop-up box, select local , choose appropriate format. "qemu image format(qcow2)" ok in case. can check "delete source" or delete manually later (this suggested). click move disk , after few minutes, vm disk ready. it's dumped in /var/lib/vz/images/vmid/. when done, unselect disk image datacenter --> storage, select local , click ok.

on destination (proxmox #2):

using web interface, go datacenter --> storage , select local. click editand in content drop down, select disk image ("iso image", "container template" , "vzdump backup file" selected). put "max backups" 0 or 1 if ok button disabled. create vm same specifications had on source server, select local drop down in storage section of hard disk tab. not turn on machine. go /var/lib/vz/images/vmid/ , remove vm-vmid-disk-1.qcow2. move image dumped on source server (proxmox #1) destination server (proxmox #2) '/var/lib/vz/images/vmid/' vm-vmid-disk-1.qcow2 name using rsync or similar tools.

select vm on left, go hardware tab, select hard disk , click move disk. on target storage of pop-up box, select local-lvm , choose appropriate format. when done, unselect disk image datacenter --> storage, select local , click ok.

turn on vm!
