Hi everyone. When replacing the secondary storage server for a zone, what would be the best way to do this? I mean with minimal impact, since I assume it would be some work involved to re-download the templates on the new server, correct? And maybe some other stuff that I'm not aware of right now. |

Hi @tdtmusic2 , Do you mean you are replacing the SSVM for a zone? |
|
Hi. No, the actual physical server that I'm using as a SS server :) Failed raid controller... |

If you want to move all the templates, snapshots and volumes on the secondary store that you want to decommission before removing it from a zone, there's an option to migrate data from an image store. You can do that before attempting to delete the store in question. |

Another option is to use rsync or another tool to copy data from old server to new server. After doing this multiple time, so delta will be really small, you need to make sure that no job is running using secondary storage. Maybe stop cloudstack-managment service. Then shutdown the old server and reconfigure the new server with same IP and exports. Start management server again and restart ssvm. |

Thanks, I'll try it this way and get back with feedback. |
