I currently dont have any vm's or applications or volumes configured or running on the CS 4.1. Basically a freshly installed Ubuntu kernel and CS 4.1. The storage setup on the Ubuntu host pc is XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary on /mnt/primary1 XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/secondary on /mnt/secondary The external disk (My Book Live disk) is configured as XXX.XXX.1.20:/nfs/Public/primary on /mnt/primary This external disk is configured in Linux host using : apt-get install smbfs. The external disk is mounting and is read/write-able in the Linux host. Now, I want to add the external disk (XXX.XXX.1.20) as the primary storage and remove the (local hdd) primary storage XXX.XXX.1.5:/export/primary. So, if I just add the XXX.XXX.1.20 as the primary storage in CS, and remove 1.5:/export/primary will do? Or some other procedure? Please take note that I have used only smfs, for mounting.

You will probably want to make sure you don't have any (non-deleted) volumes on the storage pool (primary storage) in question, though. As you likely have seen, the volumes table is linked to the storage_pool table via the storage_pool.id and volumes.pool_id fields. It might be easier for you to create new primary storage and migrate your volumes on the old primary storage to the new primary storage.
