Hello,

I desperately need to migrate a VM from a Proxmox 4.2 LVM storage node to a PV 4.1 local storage node, what is the best practice to achieve this?

In the past i was successful with migration from local storage to local storage nodes because i would just copy over the config and VM image but i found this to be impossible going from LVM storage to local storage.

I considered creating a cluster and doing a live migration but i was told that i could not remove the node from the cluster once this process is completed. Is this true?

Please help me i am in dire need of assistance at this time :(

why don't you use backup + restore?

you can still do this, but it requires a lot of manual fiddling, so backup and restore would be preferred. if you have a big enough local storage on the node with LVM, you can also move the disks from LVM to local and then copy the images around.

live migration is only for shared storage, not for local storage.
