where is all the lvm related stuff stored in proxmox? volumgroup looks empty

[felipe]

hello

we chanched from KVM/virsh to proxmox. However as there is no option for using existing images (that is really missing) we just created new machines- then made an lvmremove of the newly created lvm and then an lvrename from the old lvm to the new name of proxmox...
this works but now i dont see any of the lvms when i look on the content of the volume group.
but lvmscan show me all volumnes normally...

why does proxmox dont show any?
and maybe os there a better way of migrating the lvms? i just installed the proxmox on the host without deleting the lvms of the guests (first installing debian and then proxmox...)

thank you

Hi,
proxmox ve use lvm-tags to assign VM-disks to the VMs.

Looks like:

lvs -o +lv_tags
  LV            VG                    Attr      LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Copy%  Convert LV Tags   
  vm-108-disk-1 a_sas_r0              -wi-ao---  40.00g                                            pve-vm-108
  vm-110-disk-1 a_sas_r0              -wi-ao---   4.00g                                            pve-vm-110

thank you!

works now.
btw: is there any other option to move from standard libvirt to proxmox?
there is no way of importing/define existing images?

regards
