Vcda replication files and vms

Hi All,

I have a problem with replication files . I'm using vcda 4.0.0.16407624

There are incoming on-premises replications. The vm of replication is in datastoreA wheras the files(vmdk hbrdisk etc.) are in datastoreB. The folder in dsA has 4 very small files. Foldewr in dsB contains 4TB. I wanted to merge them because clearly there is an error. in vcda it shows dsA as destination datastore.

I didn't want to migrate it manually because that can cause problems. I tried to disable the datastoreA and reseting the sotrage policy from vcda but it moved it to a different DS without merging the files and popping out "Operation aborted due to an unexpected error." message when running Change storage profile task. Also tried it without disabling it from vcloud portal and this time it didn't do anything with successful message.

What can I try in this situation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

If anyone has this problem, I've solved it by creating a temporary storage policy moving it there and back.
