Moving mirrored ZFS PCIe NVME disks to new server

[Heliart]

I've just built a new server running 7.1-7. My previous server is running 6.3-6.
I did a clean install on the new machine and restored most of my major VMs from backup. I now have both servers running, and I'm testing the config,
All is working well so far.

One thing I have on the original machine is a pair of PCIe NVME drives in a ZFS Mirror-0 config. There's one specific VM that makes use of these so I've held off moving this VM for now. Ideally, I would like to move these "as is" to the new machine.

Is there a safe way of doing this keeping the data intact, or a way to copy the config for these drives within Proxmox to the new machine?

Cheers,

Steve

Can I give this a bump.
Really the question is how to move an existing ZFS pool (physical disk/disks and config) from one machine to another?

Cheers,

You could use "zpool export <Pool>" *then* move your NVMe Disks to the new Server and *then* use "zpool import" (src: https://www.errth.net/moving-zfs-pool-between-proxmox-servers/ )

Thanks a lot. Dead easy in the end. Took all of 5 minutes.
Just did a zpool export and an import on the new machine.
Was nothing to setup, even the mount points all worked unchanged.

Cheers.
