moving virtual machine to datastore

Hello,

Is there an easier way to move a machine from one datastore to another. I am running out of space on the first datastore and like to move to a larger datastore so I can increase the disk space.

Thanks,

tnt

You've got two options:

1) switch of the vm, do a vmotion and choose to relocate the vmdk files -> aka cold migrations

2) storage vmotion, which can be done live!
