Moving files from VirtualCenter in another data store
Hello
I'm running my VirtualCenter server as a VM and it's vm files are stored on a data store that is on our SAN.
Now I want to migrate the server to another store of data also on the SAN.
Could someone please explain to me the steps? I looked at a number of articles, son and they speak using vmkfstools but none of them are specific to the VC.
Thank you
Hi Keith,
That wasn't supposed to happen! Can you connect to the VC via RDP and use the VI client it? You have to probably close and reopen the VI client for this plugin tobe recognized...? The problem is persistent?
Anything in the VC / VI client opens a session?

Move virtual machines from a to another data store
Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?
If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.
To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?
If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.
Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

Can someone tell me how I can move a virtual machine from a to another data store? I get cold? Or can it be done live? I have esxi embedded and a san, equallogic for my configuration of vmware (with VMware infrastructure).
SVMotion is the best way, it's a live migration. You can do this through the RCLI or GUI. For me, the graphical interface is better.
Here's a good way for:

Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store
Hi all
Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.
Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.
Require some VM downtime?
Thanks in advance a ton.
Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.
1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host
2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store
3. do this for all hosts in the cluster
When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

Moving a disk of the user in another data store
Hello!
I have an office pool that is used by a few users and now I discovered, as i wan't to upgrade the user drives my Netapp file server to use snapshots on them. Is there a way to move a disc of the user to its current location on the same os drive data store was a new data store?
I know that I can put in place a new pool, but let the user discs when I do this, so this isn't an option.
Anyone know how I can keep my user records, moving them to another data store?
Currently a UDD cannot be moved the data to be backed up and restored. Alternatively, you can also turn on roaming profiles have the connection of the user in two places, once everything is in place, turn them off.

Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store
Hello
I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick. I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store. I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.
I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc. I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.
Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

How to migrate to VMDK all store data in another data store
How would be migration of VMDK script all store data in another data store.
No, then you must use the Move-VM cmdlet. But this cmdlet moves all files to the destination data store.
The alternative is to use the method RelocateVM_Task , which allows more flexibility to define what that goes where.
It is a good example of your thread has called using several data stores, can not migrate the vmx in a data store file

Create the snapshot in another data store
Hi all
On ESXi 4, is it possible to create snapshot in another data store? The reason is that the current data store is almost full. Thank you.
Hello
As far as I know, the snapshots are always in the same place as the files of the virtual machine. Then, it is not possible to snapshots in the other data that the VM store.

I moved files from my phone to my email. How can I move these photos in my photo gallery? Thank you...
Are these images located in the email... in the form of an attachment?
If so, and assuming you are using Windows Mail > click the attahment (or paper clip) > click on save attachments > navigate to your pictures folder > click Save.
Photo Gallery is just a middleman. Pictures are actually stored in your pictures folder, not the gallery.
