Hi
I was using an NFS server connected to the old and new cluster. This
should be setup as similar as possible on both cluster. Maybe it's
sufficient if they are named the same.
Then I proceeded as follows:
* move VM's disks to the NFS share
* shutdown VM on old cluster
* copy VM's config files in /etc/pve/qemu-server/ from old to new server
* you should now see the VM on the new server as well
* start VM on new server
* move disks of VM to ceph on new server (you may want to keep the old
disk images)
* if the VM runs fine, you can remove the config files on the old
cluster and remove the disk images there as well)

the GUI /Web way of taking backup not working
I have to find another way of taking the image and putting it on the new
setup , the present one storage is based on the ceph storage and the vm are
in the ceph pook
I am thinking a way in which I can try to take to VM image from the ceph
pool and move it to the other new pve instance
Guidance requested for getting the vm images to new proxmox
Thanks

That sounds like a reasonable plan.
If you have a network share that you want to utilize for the backups later
on
(never store them on the same machine, 3-2-1 backup strategy and such ;) )
you
could already configure it on the old Proxmox VE server. That way, you
don't
have to manually move the backup files over. Since you are decommissioning
the
old server, there is no risk of running into issues of two different
Proxmox VE
clusters (or separate single nodes), accessing the exact same storage.
Under normal situations, you don't want to give two Proxmox VE clusters
access
to the same storage, as you might run into VMID conflicts.
Cheers,

Dear All,
Good morning
We are going to have ProxMox 8 enterprise edition setup, installation is
going on.
Earlier we were using ProxMox 6.X Community Edition, this is a separate
unit which we were using . Now once the enterprise edition is up, we plan
to move all the VM instance which were on the old 6.X CE to the
separate
ProxMox 8 enterprise edition
I am planning to move the old vm form the CE (6.X) to ProxMox 8
(Enterprise
Edition) in the following way
- Take backup of the VM at CE using the backup option
- scp/rsync the backup files to the Prox Mox 8 Enterprise version
- Use the restore option from the new server to restore the image
Like to get advice, if the above mentioned steps is apt when you are
going
to move from one of the older CE edition [6.X] to the latest enterprise
edition
Thanks
Joseph John
