Clean PVE install and old VM disks

Anyone?

Can someone tell me if it's even possible to restore an LVM storage located on a separate disk (nvme) when doing a completely new install of PVE (on new SSDs). The LVM storage (NVME_SMS) is listed in storage.cfg however, will it be detected on the new install at all, if I just add these entries in storage.cfg? (Details on the 1st page last post)

dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content iso,rootdir,backup,vztmpl,images,snippets
prune-backups keep-last=1
shared 1

dir: BACKUP_2TB
path /mnt/pve/BACKUP_2TB
content vztmpl,images,snippets,rootdir,backup,iso
is_mountpoint 1
nodes proxmox
prune-backups keep-last=10
shared 0

lvm: NVME_SMS
vgname NVME_SMS
content rootdir,images
nodes proxmox
shared 0

you can just copy/paste /etc/pve/qemu-server/*. conf to New pve host.
VMs will display immediatly.
To boot them, make sure the datastore is available with same previous datastore name.
You can copy/paste content of section from storage.cfg too.
Datastore will display immediatly after edit storage.cfg.
personally i use nano then copy/paste content from backup of my *. conf *. cfg..

Are you sure this includes LVM storage?

Does PVE automatically do vgexport/vgimport ?

you've asked clean install keeping old vm disk, so if your lvm/thin disk aren't touched, editing storage.cfg directly works.
