I have two separated host esx, one per site: for each one there are two NFS datastore, a vm connection broker and only one Virtual Center that serve both site.
There's the needs to replace two datastore from one host. Each datastore contain about 30 linked-clone VM.
I've mirror the two datastore and I have this situation:
NFS_001 -> xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
NFS_002 -> qqqqqqqq-qqqqqqqq (VC)
NFS_001mir -> aaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaa
NFS_002mir -> bbbbbbbb-bbbbbbbb

To mantain unchanged the configuration of the infrastructure and the connectivity to the linked clone client, is it possible to umount NFS_001 and NFS_002 and replace both with the others mirrored renaming the ID of the volume? (like that)
NFS_001mir -> xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx
NFS_002mir -> qqqqqqqq-qqqqqqq
I tried to mount all the datastore and I migrated a singol vm to the new datastore, but the linkedclone vm (5GB) becomes a standalone client (30GB).
How I can replace the two datastore without interfer with the actual configuration?
thanks,sw
