Migrating a Data Volume to a New Storage Pool There are two situations when you might want to migrate a disk: Move the disk to new storage, but leave it attached to the same running VM. Detach the disk from its current VM, move it to new storage, and attach it to a new VM.
Migrating Storage For a Running VM (Supported on XenServer and VMware) Log in to the &PRODUCT; UI as a user or admin. In the left navigation bar, click Instances, click the VM name, and click View Volumes. Click the volume you want to migrate. Detach the disk from the VM. See but skip the “reattach” step at the end. You will do that after migrating to new storage. Click the Migrate Volume button Migrateinstance.png: button to migrate a volume and choose the destination from the dropdown list. Watch for the volume status to change to Migrating, then back to Ready.
Migrating Storage and Attaching to a Different VM Log in to the &PRODUCT; UI as a user or admin. Detach the disk from the VM. See but skip the “reattach” step at the end. You will do that after migrating to new storage. Click the Migrate Volume button Migrateinstance.png: button to migrate a volume and choose the destination from the dropdown list. Watch for the volume status to change to Migrating, then back to Ready. You can find the volume by clicking Storage in the left navigation bar. Make sure that Volumes is displayed at the top of the window, in the Select View dropdown. Attach the volume to any desired VM running in the same cluster as the new storage server. See
