I had a Proxmox server fail on me. Luckily, the old disk is still fine. I did purchase a new server, with faster disk, and would like to move the VMs from the old disk to the new disk. I am able to install the old disk in the new server. But I am lost as to how to get the new server to "recognize" the VMs on the old disk and how to move them.
Right now, I have it set up with two PVs:
new disk: pve
old disk: pve2 (was pve, but renamed to avoid conflict with new disk)
I tried to copy the LVs by creating a 'dd' from the old disk's LV. But I can not create the LV on the new disk ("insufficient free space... but there are no VMs yet on the new disk). Also, while this would copy the disks, it wouldn't copy the VM configuration files.
Any advise? Is there a way to "import" the VMs from the old disk? Thanks.
