Feature #2417
Updated by Ruben S. Montero over 6 years ago
This issue is to move disk images across system datastores, for VM's in power off state. Initially the issue will require TM's of source and destination be the same.
To implement the original request a manual conversion step will be required and may not work because the VM Template will use specific drivers to access the disks (i.e. raw).
Also once this is ready *onedatastore flush* will be implemented to move all VMs in a given DS to enter maintenance.
Original description for this issue:
<pre>
Hello,
I would like to move images between different datastores.
I have a *@default@* datastore with *@TM_MAD=shared@* and I would like to switch it to *@TM_MAD=qcow2@*.
My problem is that *@raw@* images do not work with *@TM_MAD=qcow2@*.
I need to create a new datastore for *@raw@* images and move them in it without changing images IDs.
Regards.
