My server with the HD where Proxmox was installed and I had to migrate the other HDs to another server. Is there any way to access HD files with .QCOW2 images?
Migrate files
- Thread starter fabiobasso
- Start date
In the Proxmox Web UI, if you select your node and then 'Disks > LVM' does the VG show up? It should just show up if you moved it. Then you just need to create a new LVM(-thin) storage in 'Datacenter > Storage > Add > LVM(-thin)'
The HD is listed in the Disks menu, but an LVM volume does not appear. Is there any way to add the HD to the new server?
I'm having a really hard time understanding how to manage disks and partitions with ProxMox.

If it's just an XFS partition, is it still possible to add it to proxmox so that the virtual machine goes back to using that disk?

Mount (replace <name> with how you want to name the storage):
If this is already automatically mounted (e.g. from your file manager) then you would need to unmount first.
You should be able to simply add it as directory storage then (this enables all kinds opfcontent for this storage, seems like you had all of them activated judging from your directories - if this is not alright you can adjust it):
In order to make this work after reboots as well you need to add the disk to fstab as well. [1]
