Shared Storage Migration-possible?

[wahmed]

We all know live VM migration is possible between Proxmox Nodes. Is it possible to migrate shared storage too? If i have 2 NFS shares on 2 separate storage server and want to move all VM to the 2nd one, what would be best route?
1. Shut down VM, Backup VM, Restore VM on the new storage?
2. Shut down VM, Copy VM HDD(.raw/.qcow2) to new storage, Make changes in <vmid>.conf file?
3. Any other way ?

Thanks!

There is Move Disk button for that?????? YAY!!!!
Is the button not available in Version 3.0-20? From the documentation it looks like the version is 3.0.23. Time to upgrade. is it always the best practice to upgrade after migrating VMs to another node?

After some searching i found what i was missing.
The Move Disk button is actually on Test repository. I went ahead and added the test repo in one of node to try out. One word..... Awesome!
I am amazed with every new release how many industry quality features are being added to Proxmox. Keep up the wonderful work Proxmox!
