Hi there,

I'm new to Proxmox and my setup which has been installed with all default settings is like so:
  • Host
  • 3 x 1 TB SSD disks attached to hardware RAID controller in RAID5 configuration
  • 2 x 4 TB SATA disks attached to hardware RAID controller in RAID1 configuration
I'm using LVM system.

I notice the `Move disk` option is greyed out on all machines and I would like to understand why.
The reason why I want to understand is because it seems like a really useful feature for migrating VMs between different disk types.

What do I need to make it not greyed out? Some kind of SAN/NAS?

Let's say in the example below, I want to migrate VM #103's disk from `local-lvm` to `raid1`, is this possible using Move disk?
