Hi Fish,

I had a similar issue once, just not quite this massive of a server.

The steps I performed were just:

  • Kill all operations on the volume and unmount the volume via removing the drive letter
  • Set all disks offline in disk manager on source 
  • Create new SCSI Controller on new VM
  • Detach VMDKs from source
  • Re-attach VMDKs in exact same order with same LUN IDs on the new system
  • Bring disks online on new system
  • You should be able to right-click the first volume and select "Import foreign Disk"
  • Done

If youre able you could dry-run this process with smaller disks in a test scenario, but it should work.

Nonetheless a full backup would definitely be handy... 

 

Regards,
Lukas
