noobs question about adding harddriv

[edina]

Hi all

this is a bit of a noob question i gues

How do i add my 3 drives that i just took from my old linux
to the new VM linux,

Or how to migrate them over, they run Sata and EXT4

If you want to passthrough them to VM edit the VM config /etc/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf, and directly assign the device.
For example:


ide2: /dev/sdb2

If you want to copy them inside VM virtual disk you should clone and restore them inside VM (with clonezilla or similar tool).

passtrough i guess, my /etc/qemu-server/102.conf was empty
so i created the file with this contect

sata1: /dev/sde1

and it does not show up on my debian box when i do fdisk -l

Sorry I meant /etc/pve/qemu-server/102.conf.
That should be the correct path and it should have already content.
Try to put whole drive not only the partition.Also make sure that /dev/sde is not occupied by another process.

Example:

sata1: /dev/sde
or
ide1: /dev/sde

 

[edina]

bootdisk: ide0
cores: 1
ide0: local:102/vm-102-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=64G
ide2: local:iso/debian-live-7.7.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso,media=cdrom
memory: 2000
net0: e1000=EA:55:4E:49:5C:71,bridge=vmbr1
ostype: l26
smbios1: uuid=3a08d989-cc73-4657-895e-9aea9926b74b
sockets: 1
sata1: /dev/sde


And now when i run mount -a i get unknown filesystem type "LVM"_member"

You mean inside VM right?

Probably your disk is LVM member and cannot be directly mounted.
You should give:
pvscan
vgscan
lvscan

What does:

lvdisplay

shows?
You should mount that LV. For example:

mount /dev/mapper/vg0/lv0 /mnt

 

[edina]

pvscan

PV /dev/sda1 VG 1tb lvm2 [465.76 GiB / 465.76 GiB free]
Total: 1 [465.76 GiB] / in use: 1 [465.76 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]


vgscan

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "1tb" using metadata type lvm2


lvscan
does nothing

lvdisplay
does nothing

 

[acidrop]

lvscan
does nothing

lvdisplay
does nothing

Maybe you had two disks in LVM group (2x500gb)?
If yes, then you should attach the other too on VM like you did with this one.
