[PVE-User] Moving virtual machine from LVM to ZFS

[Dmitry Petuhov]

You can do it manually.

On target node:
Create volume on target storage
pvesm alloc <storage> <vmid> <filename> <size>
Get path to new volume
pvesm path <volume>

On source node:
Get path to old volume
pvesm path <volume>
Do copy
qemu-img convert -p -n -t writeback -f raw -O raw <source-path> <destination-path>

See man pvesm and man qemu-img for details.

BTW, qemu-img always uses initiator name "iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm"

Or just backup on source and restore on target.
