Cold Migration from SAN Storage to SAN Storage

• Make sure that the source and destination data storage are in the same cluster.
• Before you migrate a virtual machine, detach the ISOs or LUN devices from the virtual machine first.
• If a shared disk is attached to the virtual machine, the shared disk cannot be migrated. Detach the shared disk first.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Inventory > VM and Host.

2. Select the target virtual machine and click Shut Down.

3. After shutdown, click Actions > Migration Management > Change Data Storage.

4. In the Change Data Storage dialog, choose a destination data storage.

5. Review the configuration and click OK.

After the migration, you can re-attach those data disks, ISOs, or peripheral devices to the virtual machine.
