Need Help : Moving VMs from Cache pool to physical SSD

[Enzaii]

Hello,

I 2 Windows VMs running from my btrfs_raid_0 👿 Cache pool ( 2x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500G ).

I have a spare brand new 1Tb SATA SSD drive on my desk.

My goal is to put the 1TB drive as Cache (I will certainly buy another one for btrfs_raid_1 Cache pool),

And transfer the 2 VMs, each one on a dedicated unassigned 970 500Gb.

Not sure how to do that ... Should I keep vDisks or can I get bare SSD r/w ?

It's only your choice...

With vdisk, copy vdisks on new drive(s), create a new vm and point the vdisk(s) to the moved one(s).

 

For disks/sata-nvme controllers passthrough, clone the vdisk to the real disk and passthrough the whole disk by-id (or any other identification method), or passthrough the sata/nvme controller to which the disk is attached, without setting any virtual controller.
