move-disk

Move a virtual disk to a new storage location.

This command moves a single virtual disk from the system chose with the --host parameter to a new storage location. The disk to move can be chosen either with the --virt parameter (followed by a device on the system), --real followed by the path on the host, or --lv followed by a logical volume name.

The destination is set using with --new-storage parameter, followed by a storage ID as shown by the list-disk-storages command. This is typically either files or lvm_ followed by a volume group name.

Alternately, you can force a move to a specific disk image directory with the --new-directory flag followed by a path.

Example usage

  cloudmin move-disk --host xencentos.home --virt /dev/hda --new-storage files
  Moving virtual disk for /dev/hda to files ..
  .. done
