Created VM from Fast Clone, Now How to Separate
-
Due to a time crunch, created a VM from an existing VM's snapshot, using the fast clone option. This new VM is now running the way we want and I would like to get away from its reliance on the original VM's snapshot.
What is the best path forward in a circumstance like this?
Thanks

@hawkpro If you have multiple SRs, move the VM to some other SR.

I can do that, though, at this time, we're using 2 XCP hosts with local storage. The last test I did for migrating an entire VM, went well and had some unexpected downtime as ARP (I believe) caught up.
Would a continuous replication job do the trick? This way the downtime could be better controlled.
Thanks

@hawkpro I believe it will be worse with continuous replication because your replica will be in a shut down state. When you decide to start it, you will have to shut down the original VM and start the replica. You will have a downtime during shut down and start up sequence.
Downtime during VM migration is a necessity so there is nothing unexpected there. All types of migrations require a VM to be suspended for some time (usually seconds) during the switchover from one host or SR to the other host or SR.
If you have extended downtimes of your VM migrations, then something is not quite right with your setup.
