How do I migrate a VM with independant disk to new server

[Manfred1234]

Hello,
I have VM with the operating system FreeBSD 11.3-Stable. On the system runs a server "freenas" which is virtual. Thats for file storage and sharing. So my question. I tried to quick migrate to new server. When i try to migrate a warning appears saying Failed to migrate some VMs: Migration of VMs with independent is not suporrted. How can i overcome the problem? Or should i create a new VM with the same operating system und load the configuration?

Thank you for your answers!

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Independent disks don't support snapshots. So we cannot do a snapshot -> cannot migrate.

You can solve that my changing the disk mode to "dependent"

Best regards,
