Hello,

I have a simple home lab setup with two nodes: node-a with LVM and node-b with ZFS. I am trying to find the way to move disks and VMs from the node running LVM to the second one with ZFS, so I can re-create node-a with ZFS as well. I can't find any options in GUI or documentation for the command line. Am I missing something? Is this even possible?

Thank you

Ended up with backup & restore, but it is a bummer that I can't just move a disk between storages

You can do that.

At least on my systems I can migrate a running(!) VM onto a different target storage. The "Migrate VM 1234" dialog has a dropdown menu "Target storage: xxx" for this...

A turned off VM lacks that drop-down menu. The menu is not disabled but invisible. So you don't know it could be there :-(

Doesn't work for my case because of different storage names (and types).
