Hello Members,

I have some VM on my on-premise proxmox environment, I need to move one of them to AWS because I need High-availability of the server, any help?

Have you checked the AWS documentation on importing images? https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vm-import/ and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html

If you could provide the VM config (qm config <VMID>) and the storage config (cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg), we might be able to help you with any additional steps required to get a raw image of your VM disks.

root@svr:~# qm config 102
boot: order=ide0
cores: 2
ide0: fivehundredgb:vm-102-disk-0,size=357968M
ide2: none,media=cdrom
memory: 4096
name: Bitrix24
net0: virtio=26:BD:7B:7F:BB:E1,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: l26
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=2760100d-b2ff-4c7c-833e-58ec0d4955ea
sockets: 2
vmgenid: 743360b5-7ab8-42a2-a0a4-a11f95b3e2b4
root@svr:~#

root@svr:~# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content vztmpl,iso,backup

lvmthin: local-lvm
thinpool data
vgname pve
content images,rootdir

zfspool: fivehundredgb
pool fivehundredgb
content images,rootdir
mountpoint /fivehundredgb
nodes svr

root@svr:~#
 
As this is a ZVol, you can simply copy from the block device /dev/zvol/fivehundredgb/vm-102-disk-0 to a file with the `dd` command.

Create a backup first, just to be safe! Test it to see that it is working!
Make sure the VM is not running (for consistency).

Then run dd if=/dev/zvol/fivehundredgb/vm-102-disk-0 of=/path/to/file bs=4M. This will create the file at `/path/to/file` and copy all data to it.

If you have enough space, a simpler method would be to move the disk to the `local` storage with the format `raw`. This can be done in the GUI.

I have thin LVM.
then multiple vms are created under thin lvm..
p00/vm-5343-disk-0' [40.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/vm-5673-disk-0' [250.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/vm-5682-disk-0' [120.00 GiB] inherit


Now how can I create the disk file of 1 vm's LVM to vmdk to import to ec2
