Use existing .raw disk for new VM in local-lvm?

[locusofself]

Hello,


I did a sparse rsync copy of a .raw file from an older proxmox cluster to a local new proxmox 4.2 system.

I am stumped as to how I can create a new VM with this .raw file. It seems the new system is using lvm-local storage when I create a new VM and I cannot figure out how to copy the .raw file I have over a new VM disk or attach it ..

Thank you,

Kevin

You need to create a non-thin LVM (then copy with dd) or file based storage (simple mv) and migrate then to thin-lvm with the GUI (move disk).
