Distribute VM clones to a new appliance in a PowerStore cluster
When an appliance is added to an existing PowerStore cluster, VM clones are stored on the same appliances as the base VMs.
The best practices solution is to migrate some of the VM clones to the new appliance in the cluster using PowerStore Manager. For instructions on migrating vVols for VM clones, see Migrate vVols to another appliance (advanced).
NOTE:Migrating vVols for linked clones transforms them into full clones, which can lead to increased storage utilization. However, the
PowerStore cluster can compensate for this issue by using storage deduplication.
