Convert Xen to Proxmox with 4 HDD Files

[Dennis]

Hey guys,

i'm currently using a xen vm with 4 harddisk files. This configuration is used because i want to mount my /tmp directory without execution rights, also my webserver directory and 2 more.

Is it possible in proxmox to mount more hdd files in my debian VM? how can i do this?

thanks for your help,

Dennis

yes. for example if you use local storage all images are stored here:

/var/lib/vz/images/VMID/

so just copy all 4 VM disk files to this location and they should appear as unused disks on the web interface (just go to the hardware tab and 'Add harddisk').

CLI: take a look on the following file:

/etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf

you can also work with 'qm', see:

man qm

Hey Tom,

thank you for your help!
But i have one more question:

is there a difference between migration of windows and linux servers?
Because my Linux Server in Xen uses the Xen Kernel for booting.
But this Kernel won't work in Proxmox.
How do i change this?
Is there an existing howto for this Szenario?
What should i pay attention for?

thanks for your great work!
