[SOLVED] Bulk migrate to another disk

[Altremo]

Good day to whomever deem this thread worthy of guru knowledge!

I am trying to bulk migrate my VMs from one old node to another. However, I do see the issue is that drive names are different. It is trying to migrate from local-lvm to local-lvm, however, the name of new storage is "Main-VMs". Is it possible to change settings for migration somehow and tell ProxMox to migrate to this drive?

Hi,

Is it possible to change settings for migration somehow and tell ProxMox to migrate to this drive?

Yes, you can using `--target-storage` flag using PCT or QM CLI e.g:

# For CTs
pct migrate <CTID> <Target-Node> --target-storage Main-VMs
# For VMs
qm migrate <VMID> <Target-Node> --targetstorage Main-VMs

for more info see man page for pct/qm
