Migration without cluster

[ascalotoru]

Hello,
Is it possible to migrate a KVM between two proxmoxes that are not in a cluster without making a backup and restoring it? I do not care if it's offline migration

what's wrong with backup/restore then?

It is a large machine and the backup time is high.

You can dd the disk into a network pipe and copy it out at the other end. The pipe could be "net cat" or "udp send" or ssh.
The receiving end could be "system rescue cd" This works best if the disk is quiet at the time and better if it is off (use system rescue cd to send also).

I tried migrating using dd but it fails as when the VM is off the lv is not visible in ls -lha /dev/vg command
