Storage Fabric Placement & Bake

Assign or move VM image storage between storage workers by drag-and-drop.

STORAGE FABRIC

Place VM images on storage workers

Storage Fabric lets you assign or move VM image content to a storage worker. Drag the image to the destination worker to stage the placement change, then use BAKE to commit it.

The staged view represents the intended topology; the bake operation performs the actual storage placement. Wait for the bake to finish before treating the move as complete.
