      <title>Scratch Datastore - migration online?</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Scratch-Datastore-migration-online/m-p/1780902#M172424</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have 5 AMD Esxi hosts and 1 Intel. Now I have new storage and I need turn off old. But - there is Datastore for scratch. I wouldnt reboot my Intel server - because I cant do Live motion to AMDs &lt;img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So my questino is - is it possible turn off old storage - unmount old Scratch datastore and create new one with same name? I dont need old logs data - or I can copy it before shut down and after rename new datastore to same. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for replies.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Pavel&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
