Question before I replace my cache drive

Edit: Decided to just go with it. I panicked initially when I didn't see my VMs (wouldn't have been the end of the world, but Window installs are no fun), but then I created a new one and pointed to the vdisk.img file and everything seemed good. But I was having issues connecting to it. I should have taken a screenshot of the settings. But after messing around it finally connected but at half the speed that I have. After additional playing around I'm finally back to where I was.

Original post below.

I bought a newer cache drive to replace the one I am currently using. I have two cache drives, both NVME. Just need confirmation before I do this:

Is the proper way to do this is by:

1. Stop Docker

2. Stop any VMs

3. Mover rule to take everything in the drive I want to replace to move to my second cache (anything currently showing "cache01>array" or "cache01" alone to change to "cache01>cache02".

   

4. Invoke Mover

5. Unmount cache01

6. remove physical drive

7. install new physical drive

8. mount new drive

9. reversal of step 3 (Mover: cache02>cache01)

10. invoke Mover

11. revert original state of the shares from step 3

I guess I could just stop at step 8, but would I need to make any changes if I did so, like Docker or VM settings (I assume yes, as their settings are looking for a specific drive name (or something). Could I just rename the caches to avoid that (i.e. cache02 is now cache01)?

Thank you!
