Move raw disk from direct LUN to LVM

[Angelo Pantano]

Greetings

I am trying to migrate some VMs from libvirt to proxmox, the migration is transparent indeed, but on my libvirt setup my LUN(s) were directly exposed to the hypervisor, I understand that this is not the optimal setup with proxmox so I'm creating a Logical Volumes on another LUN and drop the raw disk on it, but how to do it? I tried a dd but the VM says "no bootable device" if I try to start it with the new disk


Could I use with a snapshot maybe? I am sure that there is a way to do it in a cleaner way

Thanks a lot!
cheers

you use scsi boot disks? see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Scsi_boot_(Guest)

no I'm using virtio directly on the LUN

and I'd like to move the raw disk on the LUN on another LUN+LV

try the clonezilla way.

I think you could use dd
mount your luns in proxmox, create your lvm volumes with same size or a bit bigger
then

dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/lvm/lvm...
