VM disk images come in two flavours: the default is VHD (even over LVs), or raw (over LVs) for legacy/import stuff. The Virtual Disk Images (VDIs) are bout to a specific SR, but you can move them using the GUI, and you can copy them using the CLI. Note that copy is not found in the XenCenter GUI for some reason. Cop from RO to RW SRs is possible, and a good way to import/migrate VM disk images bwteen pools.
