virtual machine datastore move

[usr345]

Setup:

Vcenter 4.1

ESXi 4.1

How can i move a virtual machine between different clusters with non shared datastores managed by same vcenter.I can power down the vm but storage vmotion will not work as long as datastores are not shared between clusters.

Thanks

powering down a VM is not storage vMotion.  If you can take the dowtime, that is the easisest way.  When the guest is powered off, choose migrate, you can then "change both host and datastore"

[usr345]

Thanks. Did not realise move both host and datastore would work even though datastores are not shared between hosts on different clusters.
