All, I just ran my first storage vmotion test. Looks like it went fine. The only thing I noticed is that a vmdk was left behind (not deleted) on the source disk. I used the plugin that is located here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/.

Question: is this the plugin that most people are using? Should the source vmdk remain after the relocation?

I am using svmotionGUI.exe -- there is a link on this board somewhere. It works great. I have used it extensively. It does not leave the vmdk behind.
