How to stop a vitual storage motion ?

We accidently start a VSMotion for a VM between 2 VMFS volumes. The space at the destination VMFS changes to Red Alert. We believe that it means that there is not sufficient space to accomodate the VM.

The VSMotion is in progress and we would like to know is there any way to cancel / stop the migration (without corrupting the VM) ?

Thanks

I recomend not to stop the svmotion!!!

If there are not enough space the system tells you and probably stops by itself!!

In future you shold alway leave enough space on your volumes (luns) for e.g. svmotion and snapshot!
