Code:
qm migrate <vmid> <target> [OPTIONS]
Migrate virtual machine. Creates a new migration task.
<vmid>: <integer> (100 - 999999999)
The (unique) ID of the VM.
<target>: <string>
Target node.
--bwlimit <integer> (0 - N) (default = migrate limit from datacenter or storage config)
Override I/O bandwidth limit (in KiB/s).
--force <boolean>
Allow to migrate VMs which use local devices. Only root may use this option.
--migration_network <string>
CIDR of the (sub) network that is used for migration.
--migration_type <insecure | secure>
Migration traffic is encrypted using an SSH tunnel by default. On secure, completely private networks this can be disabled to increase performance.
--online <boolean>
Use online/live migration if VM is running. Ignored if VM is stopped.
--targetstorage <string>
Mapping from source to target storages. Providing only a single storage ID maps all source storages to that storage. Providing the special value 1 will map each source storage to itself.
--with-local-disks <boolean>

Thank you very much! That helped me a lot. How can I do that with a container? (migrate a container, not a VM)
"man pct"
Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
man pct
is how you would invoke man page for pct, which is the CLI interface for managing containers
once you have man page on the screen you can page through it with "spacebar" or up and down arrows
you can also search in it by pressing / (slash) and typing the search word. Since you know now that "qm migrate" does what you want with virtual machines, it makes logical sense that "pct migrate" would be a corresponding command. So press "/" and type "pct migrate" (no quotes).
That should bring you to the description of the specific command and its options.
good luck

It seemed like you were satisfied with the functionality of "qm migrate --targetstorage <string>"
The "pct migrate" has what appears to be an equivalent option " --target-storage <string>", as shown right in the middle of your screenshot. Is that not what you were looking for? And if not - can you re-state your question?

As shown in your screenshot in comment #7 , there is a dash in the option that you omitted.
feel free to file a bug/enhancement here https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ for inconsistent option format, if that bothers you enough.

This is more of
qm fault, actually. They take --targetstorage for migrate, but then --target-storage for remote-migrate, they go on to use underscores in some places, hyphens in another, no deliminers in yet another ... a mess.
