I recently created a secondary storage pool which has faster underlying media than my primary. I would like to move some of the more performance sensitive VMs I have over to that pool
How can I go about doing that with the least amount of friction?
I noticed one post from a user that cloned the VMs to the new pool and then complained that they didn’t work. I can see a few reasons why - the clones having different names than the originals being one, potentially causing issues with RPC policy that was based solely on VM name. For whatever reason, that post didn’t get any replies, so it only served to make me cautious about using that same approach
Is cloning and then deleting the original VM the correct way to do this? Or is there some more “correct” way to move a VM from one storage pool to another in a way that everything is effectively the same once the operation is complete?
EDIT: There are reasons I opted to create a new storage pool rather than extend the existing one in one way or another … I realize extending would have saved me from this bit of hassle
