[SOLVED] Question about moving VMs from one pool to another.

[terry5008]

Hello everyone,

I have a Proxmox server that I just set up and I've realized that I made a mistake setting up the ZFS pool for the VMs. When I created the pool I left the check box checked for "Add Storage". From what I understand, the only way to change this is to blow it away and recreate it.

It currently has two VMs on it, so they need to be moved. I have the space for them on the boot pool("rpool"), but I'm wondering if that's all there is to it (move from "vmpool" to "rpool", delete "vmpool", recreate "vmpool", move VMs from "rpool" to "vmpool"). Other than the virtual disk files, is the defining information of a VM all on /etc/pve which is on "rpool"?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes.
