Need some explanation about lvm and iscsi

Hi,

I have two proxmox cluster running with the last kernel 2.6.32-5.

I use a Dell MD3200i SAN for iscsi storage on my two servers (using multipath) and my storage configuration is :

2 lun with each 4 disk in raid 10

So i follow the storage model wiki and create two volume group, one for each lun (VG1 et VG2)

Last step is to copy virtual machines from my old vmware server (i must convert then in raw i know) to my volume group.

But how can i do that ?

Thanks for your help

I suggest to use clonezilla live-cd´s.

Thanks for your reply Tom,

i find my solution in this wiki page.

• Or, copy the vmdk to an LVM based disk of the same size or larger

dd if=win2003-pve.vmdk of=/dev/VG_iscsi/vm-102-disk-1

I want to copy my vmdk VM files to my new proxmox server.
