Hi,

don´t be afraid! ;)

It´s straight forward, important is only not to use the same ip and name 
on the host, then there will be no problems. No need to keep any config 
- setup the osds again, moving them is a thing I did not try and seems 
to be to much of an effort, easier to reinstall.


best regards


Ralf
