Hello, comrades!
I'm experiencing a little problem with moving large disk images from old servers.
So, what we have:
1. Proxmox 4.2-15/6669ad2c installed and configured.
2. Dell PowerVault 3200i attached via iSCSI.
3. Old server with 2x1Tb drives.
When i moved my less "massive" servers to VM I used disk2vhd, writing image to machine with 1Tb disk, then converted it with quemuimg, then copied it to /var/lib/vz/images/XXX. And last step is to move image volume to iSCSI LVM using web interface.
Now I have to move old file storage with 2x1Tb disks filled almost to the limit. I have not enough space either to write image or to convert it.
So the question is how (or can I) to use iSCSI LVM directly to copy and convert disk image there (this LVM have enough space)?
