Moving data from REFS to ZFS

[adkmechetech]

So I am moving away from Hyper-V as it is not working for me anymore. I was using ESXI before and now I have settled on Proxmox for a variety of reasons.
I am trying to migrate some data that was on a REFS *hardware* raid array in my R720. I have installed PM on that machine and have a windows 10 VM set up to mount the REFS array and it is currently an SMB share.

I have a 2nd server which is an R820 with dual controllers in IT mode and 16 drives passed through in ZFS Raidz3. I have already migrated my VMs to this host, which was very straight forward, but I am trying to figure out my bulk storage and migrate all the data. It isn't much, maybe 3-4 TB, but I can't seem to figure out how to move it, or I guess wrap my head around storage types in ZFS.

Ultimately, I want to set up a CEPH cluster (or whatever else makes sense) across the R820 and two R720s I have. I want to have common storage for all VMs, and also SMB shares for general use on my work and personal laptops/desktops like a NAS would be used.

I've read a bunch of the documentation, but homelabbing is not one of my core competencies. Any thoughts?

If you want to have the data as files in ZFS, so that your PVE host will share them, just copy over the files to a newly created dataset (e.g. WinSCP). If you want to have a dedicated NAS, install it and copy the files to the NAS.
