Hi,
I'm using ESX 4.0.0.50850 and i would like to migrate one vm to one datastore to another but this vm have config files and vmdk on one datastore and another vmdk on another datastore, like this:
datastore1/my_vm/my_vm.vmx
datastore1/my_vm/my_vm.vmdk
datastore2/my_vm/my_vm_1.vmdk
So now i want to move all to:
datastore3/my_vm/my_vm.vmx
datastore3/my_vm/my_vm.vmdk
datastore3/my_vm/my_vm_1.vmdk
Will the migrate fonction do this automaticaly ?
Regards,
I have VC and i will shutdown the vm to migrate but i want to be sure that the migrate will take ALL vmdk disreguarding on which datastore it lays ... is it correct ?
Yes its correct..You can use change datastore option and migrate the VMDK to the new location
For this to work while the VM is powere on you will need to be licensed for vMotion to perform a storage vMotion - if not then you will have to power down the VM and perform a cold migratioin -
If you have VC ... then you can click migrate... the "Change Datastore" and select the appropriate datastore.
