[SOLVED] Moving VM Disk To New Node

I currently have central storage accessed by my nodes via LVM on top of iSCSI. For reasons, Node A connects to the storage via the 10.0.10.0 network, and Node B connects via 10.1.10.0 network. I am bringing Node B over to the 10.0.10.0 network, but after doing so, the VM disks are no longer accessible. I tried deleting the VM and keeping the disk, but when creating the VM, I can't assign the orphaned disk. In the GUI, the disk does not appear, but if I run lsblk, on either node, I can see the disk.

I think the issue lies in that the iscsi portal the disk was accessed on is different, but how can I bring that disk over and make it accessible on the new network?
 
You can try qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS] (see the qm manpages for more info). Don't forget to add them as used disks in the hardware-panel of the web interface, they are imported as unused disks (and change boot order if you boot off of them).
