qcow2 --> logical volume

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello CentOS community members,

A hardware vendor provided us with a .qcow2 file to run on our KVM hypervisor file that will monitor/control said hardware (firewall). I'd like to import this .qcow2 to run as a logical volume (named 'server3') in an existing logical group named 'centos' on our CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 server.

Right now the .qcow2 file is sitting /root partition with limited disk space. The logical group 'centos' is already setup with lots of free space. There are a few logical volumes already configured.

How would can you import/migrate this .qcow2 into a logical volume? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott
