Horizon View 7.4 - moving replicas for linked clone pool with separate clone and replica storage

Running Horizon View 7.4 - we are moving to a new storage array.  I have several linked clone pools which use a separate datastore for the replicas and clones.

This KB - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004008?lang=en_US - suggests that I'll need to recreate the pools, but is not specific to the version we are running (7.4).  Have not found confirmation elsewhere - will I need to recreate the linked clone pools, or can I move the replica datastore somehow?

You do not need to delete the pool.

Once the new storage is available update the pool to point to the new datastores for the linked clones and for the replica. You can then perform a rebalance on the pool to move the linked clones. You may need to take a new snapshot of the parent VM and perform a recompose to get a replica created on the new datastore and delete the old replica.
