Copy disks.

[asio259]

Hi i am need help.
I have Disk2, which is where I store disks from virtual machines. from it I allocate space for my VMs.



I have a task.
On my Synology, which I have already connected, there are 2 disks from another hyper visor already converted for Proxmox VE. But I don’t understand how and where I can copy them, I just can’t find the path to disk2 to copy them there via WinSCP. i am just want copy this Qcow2 to my disk2 -> but dont know path. After copy want do new vm and import my copied disk in vm

Hi @asio259 ,
The expected directory structure is described in this article:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_Directory#:~:text=VM images-,images/<VMID>/,-ISO images

Good luck

Not much to explain. Should I convert my LVM type disk to Directory, after which I can both allocate space for my new VMs from it and use it as a share; will it have a path?

If I understand everything this way, can I somehow convert it or do I need to delete and recreate this section?

This is the first time you mention LVM. Your prior post suggests that you want to use file based storage pool.

If you want to transfer your qcow to an LVM (block) storage pool, then you can use:
qm disk import [vmid] /path/to/qcow [storage]

man qm

       qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS]

       Import an external disk image as an unused disk in a VM. The image format has to be supported by qemu-img(1).

       <vmid>: <integer> (100 - 999999999)
           The (unique) ID of the VM.

       <source>: <string>
           Path to the disk image to import

       <storage>: <storage ID>
           Target storage ID

       --format <qcow2 | raw | vmdk>
           Target format
