josephmqiu Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Is it possible to move VM currently setup with unassigned devices to a pool VDisk? Made the mistake of setting up daily windows VM on unassigned drive, should have just used pool storage from the start. Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 First create your pool. With the VM stopped, copy the image file from its current location to a suitable location on the pool, something like this: mkdir -p /mnt/my-pool/domains/Windows cp --sparse=always /mnt/disks/my-unassigned-disk/domains/Windows/vdisk1.img /mnt/my-pool/domains/Windows then edit the VM configuration to point to the new location. When you've tested it are are happy, delete the image file on the unassigned disk (or keep it as a backup). The action of making a domains directory in the root of your pool creates a user share called domains. You'll want to check that share's properties and make sure it's set to cache:prefer or cache:only so that the mover doesn't move the contents to the array. Quote Link to comment
