Hello All,
I need to move a production VM from one local datastore to another local datastore. Because this is a single host (no shared storage configured and ESX essentials license) I plan to use the Copy/Move function in the datastore browser instead of using vmware converter. I have done some testing on smaller VM's and everything works great; besides removing snapshots and powering the VM before the move is there anything else I should take into consideration?
Also if the Copy/Move procedure fails, will the original VM be ok (no corruption and returns to normal state)?
Thanks!
-Note-
The VM in question is 200-300 gigs in size
