Have a 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with a HP MSA 2000 Storage. No storage pools or storage spaces, just 4 LUN's with NTFS Volumes that are all converted to CSV's.
Have to perform VM migration from VM's that resides on a CSV with an underlying RAID 5 volume to another CSV with an underlying RAID 50 volume. Could perform the operation without any error from the failover cluster manager (move - virtual machine storge) on the VM.
The problem is that when I check C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 (the old place of the VM) and C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2 (the new place of the VM), all VM files are still in both locations! Apparently, a "Copy" operation instead of a "move" operation was performed.
- Why are the source files not have been deleted after the successful storage migration?
- Is it safe to manually delete the VM files in C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1?
Thank you in advance for any help.
