Ho wo add existing vms to new instalation

Ok i understund that but if I add by GUI drive2 in my case with old machines shoutl I mount somehow by CLI LVM partition - this is magic to me ... I am new in that and do not wanna destoy the system, so I only see links to machines, I know there is a way to create empty machine and copy there a image but the main problem is do not know how from my drive2...
So like you see drive2 is there, but machines has 7kb (so it is only a liks -I am think), like i sead before I only add this drive by GUI, no command pvcreate pgcreate etc...
i was tryed and mount this but:
i was tryed and mount this but:
root@mila:/dev/drive2# mount /dev/drive2 /mnt/nowy
mount: /mnt/nowy: /dev/drive2 is not a block device.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.

OK, ok that is oput of this file:
root@mila:~# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

path /var/lib/vz
content backup,iso,vztmpl

Ok, this are your storages,
TYPE: NAME
So the Name of the Storage is Drive2, the Type is lvm.
The name of the volume group is drive2.
If you type vgs or vgdisplay (like i told you) you will see you will see this volume group, pvs or pvdisplay will show you the physical volumes and
lvs or lvdisplay will show you your logical volumes.
/dev/drive2/vm-102-disk-0 or similar will be the name of the Logical Volume that is your Disk image for the vm 102
fdisk -l /dev/drive2/vm-102-disk-0 will show you the partitions on this disk.
You do not need to mount this on the host, look at the example vm-config LnxBil has posted,
the line
scsi0: drive2:vm-124-disk-0,iothread=1,size=32G
will make the LV show up as first disk in your vm

Sorry, but this is really frustrating
pve is almost full, see VFree 16g in vgs.
data is used for lvmthin, which i am not very familliar with.
root and swap are used for filesystems on your host.
Please show the config of lxc 104,
cat /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf
So yo have 2 volume groups, pve and drive2.
pve is almost full, see VFree 16g in vgs.
