Hi All,

Proxmox 4.2-18
Proxmox is attached to a SAN, which has a large LVM presented, and is in use for some containers.

Co-worker created 20/30 new containers on local LVM (only 800GB) by accident, what is the correct way to move these to another storage? downtime is no issue as these containers are new and configured but not live.

Thanks for any insight, I did try to google but I fear my google-fu has weakened over time.
Thanks
 
Solved my own issue - Why does that always happen just after you create a post asking for help!

Don't know if this is the best method, but it is working for me.
For those like me who haven't had their morning coffee yet: backup the container, delete the original and then restore and ensure to select the correct storage.
