I have been trying to convert a HDD volume originally created in ESXi. The volume currently exists on a 1TB external drive attached to the PM server and mapped as a directory. I have converted the original vmdk to the qcow2 format and have been trying to copy it back to the VM ID so I can attach it to the VM, but PX is telling me it ran out of space and can't copy the file!!
This seems to be back to the problem I had earlier today where I was trying to only create VMs on this external drive, but PM was also creating it on local_lvm. If I tried to copy this file to the local-lvm volume then I would expect it to fail, as even though the SSD on the server is 250Gb the partitions seem to run out of space at the drop of a hat.
Any advice on how I could get the converted file back into the VMID location on the external drive - I have been using a simple cp from the shell?
