Import OVF into LVM

[masteryoda]

Hi

Question1:

I imported a few Ubuntu VMs from ESXi into PVE. this is he command i used.

qm importovf 111 /mnt/usbdevice/websrv/websrv.ovf local-array --format qcow2

I'm able to start the VM without any issues. However I'm unable to take any snapshots.

If i create an identical VM from scratch in PVE with the exact config, i'm able to

What am i missing here?


Question 2:
I have a dell server with attached SAS storage + a separate smaller dedicated SSD. I installed PVE on the SSD and 4TB SAS storage as my LVM storage. So PVE created a smallish LVM-Thin on my SSD. I want this to be moved to the SAS storage

Can I assign all of the storage as LVM-Thin?

I already created this as LVM. Is there a way to convert or carve out some of the storage as LVM-Thin?

Total Noob here.......

Hi,

what storage type are local-array? if this is an LVM there are no snapshots.

Can I assign all of the storage as LVM-Thin?

Yes.

already created this as LVM. Is there a way to convert or carve out some of the storage as LVM-Thin?

The plain LVM yes, but not the already created VM on this storage.
