Migration between nodes and local storages

[ilian dimov]

Is it possible via user interface to migrate as example lxc container from node 1 local storage 1 to node 2 local storage 2 ?

Node 1 has his default local storage
Node 2 has local storage and another storage which i assigned as dir it's another hard drive

For now i can't achieve this via web interface is there any workaround via console ?

First of all, you need to specify what is the version of proxmox 3.x or 4.x. Next you need to specify if they are both part of a cluster. If you have any NFS, iscsi etc share assigned to the cluster.
Corosync will sync the configs. I have not tried to share the local storage (By ticking the share) in the storage in datacenter. If you have then I wonder what shows up in the storage section under each node. Since local is already showing up under each node. /var/lib/vz/*
Even I am curious.

Proxmox version 4.1. both nodes are part of cluster. I don't have a nfs or iscsi.
On both nodes i have local storage which is ./var/lib/vz/. But on node 2 i have second hard drive which is mounted in /storage2 as example with ext4 file system and is added as directory from Datacenter storage section.
When I click to migrate it's not ask what kind of storage to use for migration of that node and move my lxc container on local storage.

You can use backup/restore for such tasks (vzdump, pct restore).
