I Have removed CD rom in the hardware options selecting none .. and i have tried to copy the iso on the target machine .. but still the same error.

Hi,
2018-05-15 12:36:57 found local disk 'local:iso/debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso' (referenced by snapshot(s))
You have to use the parameter "--with-local-disks 1" on the command line.
 
Code:
qm migrate <VMID> <Target node> --online (1|0) --with-local-disks 1
 
You should use a"shared" storage instead if you want to migrate VMs.

Can i set "--with-local-disks 1" globally, to use the web interface migrate button ?
Using ZFS i can't set my storage as "shared" true ?

Thanks

qm migrate <VMID> <Target node> --online (1|0) --with-local-disks 1

Still not working:

No, and it breaks your replication if you make it online.

Still not working:
Yes because you have replicated volume on the target node.
You can only do an offline migration.

Hav i to delete replication ?
Deleting replication the migration will be very very slow for large disk !!
Is this the only way ?
If i delete all snapshot ? ( whit the "local" entry of the iso )
 
i have solved doing this:
i have replaced every old snapshot local entry in my conf file with the actual (none cdrom).

and after this works weel:
