migration of a virtual machine to another storage

[coristo]

Hi,
I'm trying to move VM from one node to another. I cannot use 'clone' because storage choosing option is unavailable.
So I created backup and moved it to destination node.
Now I'm getting error: no such volume group '<disk_name>' error.
Okay, this storage doesn't exist on this node, how can I change this storage?
(I'm currently using Proxmox 5.4)

Under Datacenter -> Storage you define the available storages for your cluster. These storages have to exist, though (maybe created locally).

Thank you for your reply.


I do understand.
What when I do not have got the same disks on both machines?

Either you can define storage like NFS on a server that both Proxmox have access to and put the images there.
Or you define a storage on the second node with the same name. That is all that Proxmox cares about. It doesn't matter if the disks underneath are the same, only the name has to match

That really helps me. Thanks!
