I've recently bought a new HDD with more capacity, and since my VMs were occupying nearly the 100% of my old disk, I would like to move some of them to the new one...

I would like to know how can be this possible since I've been looking in the wiki with no success :(

Kind regards
 
if you intend to add your new HD to the existing, you can mount it to the vm disk path (eg /dev/sdb1 to /var/lib/vz), probably, after moving there all vm disks, but sure udo will answer better here :-)

Well problem I found I was creating the storage paths as LVM groups.

Now I've created lvm logical volumes with the owns lvm2 mechanism, and mounted the lvm storage into a folder.

And added that storage to proxmox as a Directory, so now its much easier to move vms copying the raw files to the new location.
