VMs with two datastores (after storage migration)

Hello.

After a storage migration procedure some VMs in a Summary Tab show that there

are two datastores (old, that was before migration and new) related to them.

I believe that may not be a bug, but i dont understand what does this mean, could some one explain?

It becomes very inconvenient using maps to determine relations between

datastores and VMs (maps show both relations).

An example on how this might happen:

You storage migrate a VM which has an ISO mounted as a virtual CDROM. This ISO is also located on the sorce datastore.

When migrated to target datastore you will now see both the source and target as the ISO mounted won't be migrated...

No idea if this is the sitiuation.... but this could be a reason..
