Hello,

i have an question about migrating:
we have to migrate about 200 VMs from our old PVE-Hosts/Clusters to our new PVE-Ceph Cluster.

it is possible to copy via scp the disk files directly to the ceph storage an how i do it?

thanks a lot

What is the Storage in your old cluster, Ceph as well?
 
in my old clusters/ servers the disks on iscsi-lvm storages.

for rbd import i have to mount the old storage in my new environment, right?

it is possible to change the vm-id in this way?

do you have an example for me?

thanks a lot

You would need to do a move disk and manually copy the vmid.conf (if not the same cluster). Better use backup->restore.

No. A backup->restore will take care of it.
 
ok, thanks for your answers... i will go the hard, long way with restore everyone...
