Is live migration a requirement or can you do the steps that Kirk suggested? If using NFS, can't you export a separate path for your new cloud and won't CS see that as a different primary storage? On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 1:59 PM, Pierre Kossaras wrote: > Thank you Kirk, > > That is the answer I

I'd recommend trying it in a test environment and letting us know how it g

Hello, Can two pods share the same primary storage? I mean a pod running Xenserver 6.0 and a pod running Xenserver 6.1 use the same primary storage. The reason I ask is that I plan on migrating VM's from one pod (6.0) to pod (6.1) is that also feasible? I'm currently using CS 3.0.2 and Xenser
