Moving VM

[gadget069]

Being a newb, I have the VM installed on the array. I have since added a VM pool I want to move my VM to, to hopefully improve performance. What is the process of doing that? Thanks

Move the vdisk from the array to the pool using dynamix file manager or mc at the console or whatever your favorite file manager is, then change the VM XML to point to the new location.

 

Or, to make it even simpler, assign the pool as the primary location for the domains share, assuming the vdisk is in the domains share, and the array as the secondary location with the mover set to move from the array to the pool. This assumes your pool is big enough for all the content of the domains share.

You have me a little confused.

 

So I set the arrary to use the pool for the domains and used the mover. I have the VM pool set as prefered for the mover.

So did the domains share move to the vm_machines pool?
