After using Storage Vmotion to move an entire VM guest, the guest reports that it is using the old datastore and new datastore.

I'm in the queue for support, But would like to know if anyone else has had this problem.

Summary:

Before Storage VMotion: VMguestA says in the resouces section of Virtual Center that it is using LUN 1

Move to LUN2

After Storage VMotion: VMguestA says in the resouces section of Virtual Center that it is using LUN 1 and LUN 2

If I browse the Datastore for any leftover files, and there is nothing there.

Any Ideas?

I have also tried moving it to other LUNS,

Before Storage VMotion: VMguestA says in the resouces section of Virtual Center that it is using LUN 1 and LUN 2

Move to LUN3

After Storage VMotion: VMguestA says in the resouces section of Virtual Center that it is using LUN 1 and LUN 3

Seems to be stuck on Just LUN 1. I have tried moving it back to LUN 1 and then is reports only being on LUN 1.

Move it again and it will still show 2 LUNS.

This is currently happening on 4 VM Guests all on this LUN 1.
