I had moved some VMs from XS7.6 to a new Pool running 8.2.
Now we have to upgrade the new pool with additional disks and want to change from raid1 to raid5. So I would like to move back these VMs to the 7.6 pool. I cannot select the old pool as a destination in Xencenter - it is greyed out saying: "Older than current server".
I tried to employ the force option then via command line, but still get a refusal ...
This is what I get - still refusing due to target pool being too old...
Performing a Storage XenMotion migration. Your VM's VDIs will be migrated with the VM.
Will migrate to remote host: Hostname, using remote network: xy. Here is the VDI mapping:
VDI 4191785e-8899-45f5-bc38-2d0133af7968 -> SR 1658140a-cf11-df28-bdf0-37bd50f1b71c
Cannot migrate a VM to a destination host which is older than the source host.

host: 532ca9a1-2d92-3962-9045-20765cbcb3a6 (VmName)
vm: OpaqueRef:dc4ac698-3622-9d9d-4f15-c916b62e7546
Any ideas what I could try to move the VMs to the old pool?
