move vm disk to zfs disk in zvol

[HydrexHD]

I want to move a vm disk to a zfs disk in a zvol. How can I do this?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

please provide:
* your '/etc/pve/storage.cfg'
* the config of the virtual machine (`qm config $VMID`)
* a desciption of any problems you've encountered while trying to move the disk to a different storage

else it's difficult to help with your request

There is no problem with the disk image, I just want to know how to import a disk Image from a vm into ZFS Storage.

If the destination storage is already configured in PVE, it's simple: click on the virtual disk and then the "move disk" button above.

Thanks it works.

I have another question. Is it possible to add Backup storage or iso storage to an ISCSI lun with lvm or zfs?

not directly.

in case of
- ZFS, you need to create a dataset that is automatically mounted
- LVM, you need to create a volume, format it and mount it
in both cases you end up with a mount path/directory that can now be added to PVE as a "directory storage", in which you can then enable ISO/backup storage.

Both only work in a single-node setup and not in a clustered setup.

Ok, how can I mount the ZFS Dataset with fstab?

You cannot, that is done automatically, unless there is a overlay issue. For further information, please see to the manpage of zfs and read about mount, mountpoint and overlay.
