RE: How to replace Primary Storage

[Amir Abbasi <ab...@tebyanidc.ir>]

Hi,

I've enabled maintenance mode on Primary storage 1 and it stopped and moved all vm' on that storage and moved to another PS automatically. But only vmdk files have been moved and "vmx, log and other small files related to Vm's still exist on Primary storage 1. This is why I can't unmount that from vmware. Any idea about forcing CS/VMware to recreate those config files on new PS. I know if I stop the VM's and move storages to third PS will fix the problem probably.

Hi,

Thanks, as I found in older documents if I enable maintenance mode ol Primary Storage then CS will try to move all storages to another Primary Storage with same tag. Has anyone tried that?

Hey Amir, this should be doable behind the scenes with vCenter. It will involve live storage migration, then massaging the cloudstack db (volumes table pool_id and folder references). If snapshots are involved, its a bit more involved.

I got it. After migrating the configuration file of the datastore and
rebooting the VM that is fine now. is this process risky, I am going to that
for functional VM's.
