[SOLVED] Migrating VM's from old node to new node keeps failing

[jtwicker23]

This is my first virtualization environment and started with a single node that I unfortunately configured with LVM rather than ZFS. I have since added two more ZFS configured nodes. I have some downtime and was wanting to migrate the single ubuntu VM I have that is running a few docker containers to my newest node, however, every time I try I get errors. This is the current set of errors I am getting. Can anyone provide me some guidance please?

Backup that VM & restore on new node to the requested storage location.

Backup that VM & restore on new node to the requested storage location.

Okay, so I did that and now when I try to restore, I get the following error.

You've marked it as Solved so I am guessing you chose the correct storage location & the restore was successful. I was going to suggest deleting the VM on the original node (but keeping the backup) & then restoring to the target node.
