To preserve the LVM structure when converting a Linux source, you can set up a virtual disk as a logical-volume container. Converter Standalone allows you to preserve and modify the source LVM structure.

You can manage logical volumes and logical-volume groups in the same way as basic volumes and disks.

Logical-volume groups are listed together with virtual disks and are marked with a different icon.

You cannot move active and system volumes in a logical-volume group.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the source is a Linux machine and supports LVM.

Only LVM2 is supported.

Procedure

  1. From the Data copy type drop-down menu, select Select volumes to copy.
  2. Click Advanced and select the Destination layout tab.
  3. Select a disk and click To LVG.
