Moving data to new storage appliance
Hi everyone, I'm sorry to bother y'all with another noob question. We are in the process of retiring the old storage appliance that backed our oVirt cluster in favor of a new appliance. I have migrated all of the active VM storage to the new appliance, but can't see how to migrate the "base versions". My understanding is that if I just drop the storage with the base versions then the derived VM's will cease to be functional. Please advise.
Hi David, You have the option to copy the template disks to another storage domain. When all your disks were copied to the new domain you can remove the old appliance-based disks. On Sun, Jul 28, 2019 at 11:21 PM David Johnson <djohnson@maxistechnology.com> wrote:

Thank you Eyal, *"You have the option to copy the template disks to another storage domain."* So, if I understand the process, I can't *move* the disks, I have to *copy* them, then *attach* the copies to the templates, then finally *delete* the old disks ?

When you copy a template disk, there is no option to attach it. It will automatically belong to the template. You can see the disks copies under the template disks in the UI.
