Changing Data store of linked clones with persistent disks?

[JHSNY]

I am running View 4.6 with 2.6 of composer, I have one desktop pool of 34 desktops.  I have the linked clones split up across 7 data stores at the moment, I need to move them to a new san with 20 data store created on it. I have to move them without losing any of the data on the persistent disks, the replica and persistent disks sit on the same data stores as their respective virtual machines.

Hi,

Rebalace should do this for you.

Present the new datastores to view esx Hosts,

Edit the pool vcenter setting and point new datatore

Perform a poollevel rebalcance.
