Now the VM starts and data is readable. I tested the RDM disk and data was readable without a problem. User Tools Log In. Site Tools Search.

Storage vMotion - Virtual Compatibility. Have you done this before? I just wanted to see if anyone in the field has had an experience with this process. If you chose to move the virtual machine configuration file and virtual disks, select a disc format, and then click.
Thin provisioned using the format thin to save storage space. The thin virtual disk use as. When the virtual disk. Take a look at this kb for more information. Running vSPhere 4. I'm migrating to vSPhere. This question is about the servers Windows running on ESX 3. I have a couple of file servers that have a basic virtual disk and also one or more readers added through RDM. I want to migrate the Basic virtual disk to a different LUN storage for cleaning.
Are the questions with the help of the storage vmotion on the vSphere client to migrate to a different LUN storage? When SVmotion VMs select only basic disk to migrate then. Storage vMotion with snapshots. I'm trying to implement storage vMotion in vSphere and I wanted to try to clarify some of the requirements.
This has now changed in 4. Does anyone found a workaround for this limitation? Thank you. Currently, there is no work around for this. The only way is to commit snapshots, then svMotion above. Who knows what will be the next major version to the table well! If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful! Storage vmotion with several virtual disks.
I have a couple of virtual machines with virtual disks on them. I have a need to pass one of the virtual disks in a different lun while leaving others in the current location. I would like to move this disk without impact on our users, which means that I like to keep the operational machine.
I did several Vmotions storage with great success. I want to know is if there is a way to use Storage Vmotion and tell him to move only a single virtual disk on a multi VM disk. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Run the sVMotion intereactive mode. This will guide you through the process with the ability to move the individual disks. This behavior struck me as odd and unexpected, so I started digging in and doing some testing. I did all my testing on vSphere 4. I tried several times with datastores of various sizes, including a datastore that had less free space than the size of the mapped raw LUN.
When you do the vMotion of the virtual machine, It just moves the compute resources from the current host to destination without affecting the RDMs and disk files. It does not require any downtime on the virtual machine. In cold migration, virtual machine needs to be shutdown. However, RDMs files do not move automatically because it is physical storage but pointer file RDM can be reallocated to destination host.
When migrating RDM files, It creates a new. We can say it clones the same files at new host.
