April 26, 20242 yr Hi ! When I did my server, I had in mind two issues : Being able to store all my files and access them Being able to (in the future) be able to use it as something universal for all my PC (aka a VM) My actual unraid server is simple. Not enough RAM, no GPU, not even an amazing CPU. With 12TB of HDD. (The case is cool tho, just saying haha). I had plans to upgrade everything, but in a second time. Today I did my first VM setup. It works flawless, I linked to my shares, tried to use the mstsc.exe, the potential for that is amazing. But now, before going further i'd like to upgrade my server. So i've a few questions : I'd like to run my VM(s) on a SSD. Like either a nvme or a SATA one. Could I just plug one in, ignore all the rules based on my array (size, parity etc since it'll just be done for storing my WM data) ? Is it that easy ? Is it possible / easy to migrate my VM's boot file (the .img right ?) from my user/domains to the future SSD that way I can just move and have no reinstallation to do ? I'd like to throw more RAM and a GPU to really play and everything on that VM. Can I just add them, and config them without resetting up a new VM ? Seems the case, just want to be sure. Thanks a lot !

Yes, but recommend assigning it as a pool for performance reasons. 8 hours ago, Vladcik said: Is it possible / easy to migrate my VM's boot file (the .img right ?) from my user/domains to the future SSD that way I can just move and have no reinstallation to do ? Yes, you can use the mover. 8 hours ago, Vladcik said: I'd like to throw more RAM and a GPU to really play and everything on that VM.

April 28, 20242 yr Author Hi ! Just to update, I was able to move (after some struggle) everything to my nvme. I'll wait to get the cables for my GPU this week-end and the fun will begin. Thanks a lot, i've learnt a lot wit that ! Thanks ! Edited April 28, 20242 yr by Vladcik
