The Virtual Disk Images (VDIs) are bound to a specific Storage Repository (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. Or export your file based old VM disk images over NFS and then attach the NFS SR over the installnet to the DOM0 and cop from there. The target SR can be specified by uuid: |
