Proxmox VM dependencies

[sitovivo]

Hi, I have a problem with proxmox VM disk base.
My configuration is:
pvesm list local
local:100/base-100-disk-1.vmdk vmdk 34359738368 100
local:100/base-100-disk-1.vmdk/104/vm-104-disk-1.qcow2 qcow2 34359738368 104
local:101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2 qcow2 34359738368 101
local:102/vm-102-disk-1.qcow2 qcow2 34359738368 102
local:102/vm-102-disk-2.qcow2 qcow2 107374182400 102
local:102/vm-102-disk-3.qcow2 qcow2 17179869184 102

local:108/vm-108-disk-1.qcow2 qcow2 34359738368 108

My problem is that I have to move base-100-disk on an external backup drive because I need more disk space.

The base-100-vm is a VM that I normally use as a template to create new VMs and
as you can see, the vm-104 has dependencies in base-100-disk.

How can I fix these dependancies (remove the connection between 100 and 104 vm) , in order to move base-100-disk on another phisical hard disk?

Thanks,
Massimo

You can create 'full clones' (instead of 'linked clones').

Thanks Dietmar for your reply.

But even if I will explore the "full clones" creation, now how can I do to remove the dependancy for the 2 VMs?

You can create a full clone of those VMs. Or simply add a new disk to those VMs, and then use 'Move Disk' to copy the content.
