Hello everyone,
I had an installation of proxmox ve 6.1
Wanted to start fresh by installing proxmox ve 6.3 & backup server on a new SSD

I can't find an easy way to migrate my storage configuration & vms from the old install to the new install.
Here's my setup

250g SSD 1 -> proxmox ve 6.1
250g SSD 2 -> proxmox ve 6.3 + backup server
2x4TB HDD (ZFS) -> VM disk & backup.
1x1TB HDD (LVM) -> VM disk for testing purpose

I successfully imported my ZFS pool to the new install but qm rescan seems to not find anything else
What would be the best thing to do for this kind of migration ? Is there a way to export the whole config from the old Proxmox VE to the new one ? a bit lost.. thanks :)
 
Oh didn't know about that, thanks.
I guess I can copy the whole folder to the new installation of proxmox
 
Honestly, I never tried. Some things might be read only since this is actually a fuse mounted database. But you have nothing to lose. :)
 
Well it worked easy ! :)

Just copied .cfg files and content of node/nodename folder into my new one.
Thank you for the tip !
