How to move VPS from one storage to another within one CR?

Answer

1. Note the VPS UUID and Stop the VPS in SolusVM 2

2. Create a logical volume of the same disk space on the second storage:

   # lvcreate -L 10G -n 1 /dev/storage2

3. Copy the original VPS LVM image into the created one:

   # dd if=/dev/storage1/1 | dd of=/dev/storage2/1 bs=8192

4. Open the VPS config for editing using UUID from step 1:

   # virsh edit UUID

5. Find the line with the VPS LVM image:

   CONFIG_TEXT: source file='/dev/storage1/1'/>
   and change the source file path to the new one:
   <source file='/dev/storage2/1'/>

6. Connect to SolusVM 2 management node via SSH
7. Create the database backup:

9. Update the storage ID for the VPS:

   # update compute_resource_vms set storage_id=NEW_STORAGE_ID where id=VPS_ID;

   
   Replace "NEW_STORAGE_ID" and "VPS_ID" correspondingly.
