Hello You are correct, there is no method to switch drive types in the virtual disk. Backups or images would be the best method for data retention. If you do an image copy then I suggest that you do not perform a copy that will include the virtual disk information. I would suggest a file system level image that you can copy to the new drives after creating the virtual disk. [URL] Thanks
I'm guessing the answer is no and that I'll have to rebuild but I thought I'd ask anyway. Key details I'm swapping from SAS mechanical to SATA SSD and since I can't mix & match SAS & SATA, some reconfiguration is required. Without some sort of backup/restore operation, are there any options for accomplishing this?
