While doing Storage VMotion from VMFS 5.0 to VMFS 6.0 cant see the Data store VMFS 6.0

[vmk2014]

Hi All,

I'm trying to migrate the VM's from older data store having VMFS 5.0 to  Data store VMFS 6.0 but while doing the SVM ( from  cluster 1 to Cluster 2), the VM cant see the data store having VMFS 6.0

in the target cluster.  ESXi version 6.5 source and target cluster.

Any pointer will be much appreciated.

thanks

I'm migrating the VM's to Datastore VMFS 6.0  from DS VMFS 5.0. It's already upgraded to  VMFS 6.0

Sorry for the misunderstanding,

FIrst of all, are you migrating within the same vCenter server ?

Kindly advise if the target storages (VMFS6) are shown by the source servers on Datastore Tab. because you have to share the storages to both clusters or at least the host on which the virtual machine is running must have access to both the source and target datastores.

For more information about storage vmotion requirements please check the following: Storage vMotion Requirements and Limitations
