 Moving an Azure disk pool (preview) involves moving the disk pool itself, the disks contained in the disk pool, the disk pool's managed resource group, and all the resources contained in the managed resource group. Currently, Azure doesn't support moving multiple resource groups to another subscription at once. 
 
 - Export the template of your existing disk pool.

 It's important to understand the performance requirements of your workload before you deploy an Azure disk pool (preview). Determining your requirements in advance allows you to get the most performance out of your disk pool. The performance of a disk pool is determined by three main factors, adjusting any of them will tweak your disk pool's performance:

 An Azure disk pool (preview) is an Azure resource that allows your applications and workloads to access a group of managed disks from a single endpoint. A disk pool can expose an Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) target to enable data access to disks inside this pool over iSCSI. Each disk pool can have one iSCSI target and each disk can be exposed as an iSCSI LUN. You can connect disks under the disk pool to Azure VMware Solution hosts as datastores. This allows you to scale your storage independent of your Azure VMware Solution hosts. Once a datastore is configured, you can create volumes on it and attach them to your VMware instances.
