Is there a way to perform a "Move Disk" from the command line (Proxmox 3.4)?

[jimmyjoe]

I need to move the disks (on several Proxmox 3.4 hypervisors) of around 90 VMs (not containers) from local /var/lib/vz/ to a mounted iSCSI volume (/mnt/remote). I'd like to just setup a shell script as I need to move them back to /var/lib/vz after upgrading the hypervisor. Is there a command line utility to do this? Wondering if pvectl can be used for this somehow?
pvectl migrate <vmid> <target> [OPTIONS]

I can accomplish the same thing by using "Move Disk" menu under hardware, but it is cumbersome for more than a few machines. Thanks.

What's the best way to migrate the snapshots which accompany a VM?
Getting an error when using `-delete 1` when a VM has a snapshot:
"volume local:102/vm-102-disk-1.qcow2 have snapshots. Can't delete it"

delete the snapshots that reference this disk, then you can delete the disk.

is there a way for lxc to?

I too was wondering if there is a way to move the disk for LXC containers via the CLI instead of the WebUI

EDIT: On Proxmox 6.2

man pct

-> pct move_volume
