Hi All,
I have a Windows 2003 SBS OEM installed on a RAID1 configuration and on the same server I have another 2 aditional S-ATA disk for Shared folders.
I intend to migrate this server to PVE on same machine - to respect OEM License aggrement
- using SelfImage procedure (regarding to this tutorial).
Now, RAID1 have 2 partitions (C and D) and also the other 2 disks are partitionated.
In my scenario, I intend to move RAID1 into and IDE Disk in PVE and after that I will copy the data from aditional disks to the new virtual server.
Now, correct if I'm wrong:
Step 1: I install selfimage and I migrate "mergeide.reg" into Win 2003SBS registry.
Step 2: Create KVM Machine and prepare the disk for NBD directory with command:
where xxx is the VM ID.
Step 3: Generate image for "Entire disk" for RAID1 configuration - in my case the disk who manage partition C and D - regading to the procedure.
The Questions are:
1) When I create the PVE Disk need to be with the same size as the disk that I migrate? If not, what happen with free space?
2) How I increse the disk space for KVM if I want this option direct from migration?
