LXC can't migrate and select which disk to use

[voarsh]

Following from: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-cant-migrate-to-a-remote-disk-i-choose.96472/post-424130

I can start a migration but the storage E.G. Node 1 (storage X) to Node 2, tries to use storage X, but I want storage Y on node 2, but the GUI or CLI doesn't let me specify a storage for the migration (unlike VM's)?

Hi,
this is not implemented yet for containers, here is the feature request.

Oh gosh, I didn't know that.
So, you can't migrate containers at all?

When I do a migration from host to host, the disk target isn't visible for me, and of course the issue in this thread....

You can migrate a container when the relevant storages are available on the target node. But currently, you cannot change storages during migration.

EDIT: a --target-storage option is implemented in pve-container >= 4.1-4.

if you have come here from google looking to migrate lxc container to a different host with different storage names. The cli tool support it with pct migrate <VMID> <HOST> -target-storage <STORAGE_NAME>
