@mak14 the fastest method would be to connect the hosts in this new cluster to the IBM storage datastore and Storage vMotion all the data from that datastore onto vsanDatastore.

 

If that storage cannot be connected to the new hosts and is connected to old hosts only then can do a shared-nothing vMotion of the data and VMs from one to the other.
