So as part of a project here i have been experimenting with Proxmox and Ceph. It up and running and works really well. Bur we have a few MUST HAVE vm's i need to bring over.

So far i have not found a graceful way to do this in this configuration.

The most graceful so far appears to be a combination of Selfimage (dd for windows) to clone the drive via NBD directly into the proxmox server. but using Ceph this is more challenging as i do not have a "normal" path for access to write the disk image, NBD or no.

If there are some suggestions on how to process this i would be open to hearing them. so far it is looking like a cross of selfimage to local disk then migrating into the ceph cluster... It would almost be easier to rebuild vm's that way.
