I am trying to migrate a KVM vm to a new cluster node, when the storage for the raw disk is currently on an nfs mount.
Firstly I have copied the storage to the new node.
Then I stopped the vm and tried to migrate it to the node. But it started to rsync the disk. this is 230GB and would be quite slow (which is the reason I am moving it to local storage), plus I would need to migrate to an extra storage on the node, so doing it automatically would fail anyway, so I think I need to do it manually.
I am thinking of:-
Is that the right way to go about it?
thanks

I am thinking of:-
- naming the synced disk appropriately on local storage on the node
- creating a new entry on the node with a new VMID eg /etc/vz/conf/132.conf which would just be an edited copy of the original 105.conf on the original node
- starting from the PVE
Is that the right way to go about it?
thanks
