How do I swap names for my cache pools?


Recommended Posts

I've got two cache pools:

  1. Name: Apps
    1. Consists of a single SSD
  2. Name: Cache
    1. Consists of a pool of 3 SSD

The astute among you will see the issue here.

 

I've already set my Apps pool cache setting to "Yes" (from "Prefer") so I can migrate data onto the array. (Involves stopping all dockers & the docker service. VM service isn't running.)

 

Once I've got the data off the Apps and Cache pool, what's the best way to swap the names so I can have all my dockers live on the actual pool for some drive failure resistance?

 

I'm thinking:

  1. Rename "Apps" to "temp"
  2. Rename "Cache" to "Apps"
  3. Rename "temp" to "Cache"
  4. Set Apps cache setting back to Prefer
  5. Run mover
  6. Restart docker service & dockers.

Does this make sense? Is there an easier way? Have I missed something?
