$

0

Please find the right steps

 

Query1


before activity take VM export which are stored on datastore


Home => datastore and datastore cluster => select the datastore => VMs => add all the columns => take VM export


take latest RVTool export.



shutdown all VMs => Unregister all VMs and Templates => RK on Cluster (edit setting  => datastore hearbeating => here we have to select another datastore and click on OK)


to confirm new datastore is visible as datastore heartbeat select Cluster=> Sumamry => Custer Status => Heartbeat Datastore )

if we are able to see new datastore then now remove old datastore from datastore heartbeat


RK on Cluster (edit setting  => datastore hearbeating => here we have to uncheck datastore and click on OK)


unmount => detach(need to perform this step on all esxi host) => san team will unmap => start storage movement activity (poweroff storage) => move the storage => poweron => san team will map the datastore =>attach((need to perform this step on all esxi host) => mount the datastore


Register all VMs


Poweron All VMs if get message (moved it or copied it ) select Moved it.


Query2:

it won't throw any error, will work seemlessly.


Query3:

Yes we need to unregister all VMs and Templates before unmount a datastore.


regards

Mr VMware
