@marcoi I don't have enough context to reply. You should open a new thread to discuss it, with details about your needs (always better to explain the needs before the technical solution).
Ah indeed, labels are honored even in the case of a warm migration.
We used it ourselves when we migrated from Intel to AMD CPUs, it was really the best compromise betweeen live and cold (especially when you change the CPU vendor).
Glad to see it's helping many people and companies now
No the old pool is fully gone. There was a risk for compromised network incl. hypervisor password. So the pool is destroyed. VMs are still available or available by backup. Need to access some of them without network to backup so data and to re-install win11-VMs without new activation. For the win11-VMs I need all the settings/data not only the VHD disk file.
And possibility to upgrade to different xcp-ng-versions for restore? At the moment the hypervisor is at latest 8.3 .iso -> so at least I think I Need to update to the latest version before 09/12/2025.
