Migration Virt-Manager VM to Proxmox

[rest]

Hello, help migrate VM from Virt-Manager to Proxmox.
I have a VM with 2 disks.

<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/dev/vg_kvm/ump'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/SW_DVD5_Windows_Svr_DC_EE_SE_Web_2008_R2.ISO'/>
<target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/dev/vg_kvm/ump_store'/>
<target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>

Since this server is already very old and has weak characteristics, it became necessary to transfer it to another VM in Proxmox. Tell me how this can be done?

Yes, I read this article. But it seemed to me that there was no solution to my problem in it. I have lvm disks with raw format. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yes, just export the disk image into a '.raw' file (e.g. with dd)

Can you detail what commands on my example?

 

[dcsapak]

e.g.

dd if=/path/to/lv of=/tmp/output.raw

see 'man dd' for details (especially blocksize, that may improve your copy speed)
just make sure you have enough space in the target

TY!
Can this be done over the network if there is no free space on the machine?

yes but you'd have to pipe that through ssh...
