Migration VM from OLVM to Proxmox

[bigneo7]

Hi,

How to perform migration from OLVM (kvm based) to promox without using command 'qm importdisk'? Is the another way to import using gui?

This is not possible via the GUI, but running the command on the CLI is not that difficult.
It basically consists of the following:
qm importdisk <VMID> <source-disk> <target-storage>
All you need to do is specify the VMID you want to import the disk to, the file to import and on which storage you want to import it.

Hi @mira,

Any specific guide to this migration?

Another thing is, I was unable to open web gui after installing promox ve 7. Port at juniper firewall is allowed


Thanks

First copy the VM disks to wherever they are accessible from the PVE host.
Then create a VM on the PVE host with a config similar to your OLVM one. You can create it without any disks, or remove the disks afterwards in the Hardware panel.
Once done, run the `qm importdisk` command from my previous post. You should see a new unusedX disk in the Hardware panel. This is your imported disk. You can attach it by editing it (or double clicking it).

Did you use https to access the GUI? https://<IP>:8006/
It is important to use https and specify port 8006.
