Can I access the LVM over iSCSI storage from the host?

[jarcher]

Hi All, I am wondering how I can get access to the LVM over iSCSI sotrage from the host? I ask because I want to migrate some vmdk files as file systems for a new KVM, but I can't find the virtual disk files.

Thanks...

if you use LVM, you use block devices directly. so you will not find any disk files.

what so want to do exactly? move from vmdk to LVM disks?

Thanks Tom...

I want to migrate a VMWare VM (vmdk files) to a KVM, where the storage for the KVM is on LVM storage that is on an iSCSI SAN.

just use the clonezilla method. see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

Oh so boot the source VMWare VM from a Clonezilla iso? Makes sense, thank you I'll try that!

Best,
