Example Usage

Move all disks from "oldstorage" to "newstorage" - using format raw on "newstorage"

$ ./pve-move-disks.php -h 192.168.0.10 -u root -p mypassword -s oldstorage -d newstorage -t raw
Moving virtio1 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,size=107374182 to newstorage raw on 100 : mymachine
Moving virtio2 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-2.raw,size=214748364 to newstorage raw on 100 : mymachine

After all disks are moved, delete the old disks - start with a "dry run" (-n) to show which disk which would be deleted.

$ ./pve-delete-disks.php -h 192.168.0.10 -u root -p mypassword -d oldstorage -n
Delete disk unused0 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 on 100 : mymachine
Delete disk unused1 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-2.raw on 100 : mymachine

Actually delete the disks

$ ./pve-delete-disks.php -h 192.168.0.10 -u root -p mypassword -d oldstorage
Delete disk unused0 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 on 100 : mymachine
Delete disk unused1 - oldstorage:100/vm-100-disk-2.raw on 100 : mymachine

Eject the cdrom on the oldstorage

$ ./pve-eject-cdroms.php -h 192.168.0.10 -u root -p mypassword -d oldstorage
Ejecting ide2 - oldstorage:iso/debian-9.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrom,size=290M on vmid 100 : mymachine
