I currently have my appdata stored on my array and just installed 2 m.2 drives into a newly created cache pool.  I want to transfer my current appdata to this cache pool so I can run all of my docker containers off of the m.2 cache pool.  I can see in my appdata share that I can set "Primary storage (for new files and folders)" to cache but will this also apply to my current appdata folders for my current containers?  If not, how can I move my existing docker folders inside appdata to my cache drive?

 

I would appreciate any help and guidance I can get.  Thank you!

You need to have Ptimary Storage set to cache, Secondary Storage set to Array and mover direction to Array->Cache.    You then need to temporarily disable the Docker Service and start mover from the Main Screen.   When that completes you can re-enable the docker service.

 

if you are moving all of appdata then when the move completes you can remove the secondary storage option for the share.   Having done that enable Exclusive Mide under Settings->Globsl Share Settings to optimise performance accessing that share.

Thank you so much!  I am running the mover right now, do I have to copy to docker image file to the cache as well or is it fine to keep it still on the array?

Ideally you should do the same thing for the ‘system’ share which is where the docker image is by default.   In Tanya case disable the. M service as well while doing it.

I apologize I don't think I understood that part correctly, what is the M service that I should disable before changing the system share as well?

Not sure what happened there - meant to say VM Service.
