How to move VM to another storage

[alpha754293]

Kingneutron you are definitely a hero!

The forum should have pinned your scripts on top.

I definitely second this.

The script that you wrote is AMAZING and does exactly what it says it will do!

It's AWESOME! Thank you!

I had a VM on one storage pool (lvm-thin-1) and I moved it to another pool (lvm-thin-2).
I still see a disk under VM Disks on lvm-thin-1 and when I try to remove it proxmox suggests to remove it from hardware pane of the VM. VM has only one disk on hardware pane and it's the disk on lvm-thin-2.

Can you please help me to reclaim storage on lvm-thin-1?

Proxmox version: Virtual Environment 7.4-17

Try if it shows up as unused disk under Hardware if you run qm rescan.

Thank you @Impact , this helped!
so `qm rescan` added it to the Hardware tab as unused disks and I was able to remove them from there.

One peculiar thing: I had a non-working storage (old lan SCSI which I don't use) and `qm rescan` didn't work until I fixed the storage.

The command you ran scans all suitable storage pools for orphan disks, so if you have an inoperable storage defined that would trip the command up.
