Add a local lvm to an existing vm

[Romainp]

Hi all!
I am currently migrating my old XEN vms to a new proxmox box. One of the vm used an lvm that is in fact a full disk for backup storage. I have installed this disk into the pve box and I can see it/mount it.

Is there a way to add this local lvm storage to the vm so it can be mounted and used as the same backup storage as before?

Thanks!

Yes, you can pass through a whole disk. Just edit the config manually and add something like:

scsi1: /dev/disk/byid/XXXXX
