how to move the Catalog to new storage?

Hi,

Hope you all well,

vCloud director version : 5.5.2.

we've a requirement to move the Catalog to the new storage. I've created datastore in new storage and tagged it with a new Tag. The New Tag attached to the new storage policy.

In vCloud I can see the new storage policy and associated datastore. I can deploy new vApp to the New Storage policy.

I've changed the storeage policy of the catalogue to new one. The properties of the catalog show the storage policy changed. But the vApp templates in the catalog are still in the old datastore. All VMs attached to the vApp templates are still in the old datastore.

I assume when we change the storage policy in Catalog properties vCloud should instruct vCenter to do Storage Migration of Template VMs. Its not happening here.

There is no way to change the storage policy of vApp template vms individually.

can you guys shed some light?

Hi,

sometimes it doesn't work.

If you don't have so many templates create a new catalog at new storage and right click on template to move templates to the new catalog.

After you can delete the old one.
