Hi, I moved vm disks from kvm server (not proxmox) that use raw file to a proxmox mounting a remote folder with it (in my case using smb share but can be done in other ways) and after using qm importdisk directly on the raw files.
Now I'm looking what is the best and faster way to move from a proxmox to another (not cluster), both with vm disks on lvm-thin.
One way is dd to a file in an external disk and after connect to destination server and using "qm importdisk". It is also possible using over the network, without having to attach/detach disks, if you already have enough space on a local partition on one of the servers.
But with vm disks very big is not possible and with this way do a "double" copy with longer time needed.
So to search a way to do a direct copy I found to manually create the destination lv and do a dd over ssh: https://serverfault.com/questions/3...y-from-one-server-to-another-over-the-network.
Is there a better way I didn't found using proxmox (even if not in a cluster) to do it?
