ESX 3.5 + vCenter 4.0 Storage VMotion

[aenagy]

From vCenter 4.0 is it possible to initiate a Storage VMotion migration on an ESX 3.5 host? On my lab setup there is only one migration option.

I haven't yet updated my host to Update 4 (waiting on VUM to finish the downloads).

This may be a silly comment but did you shutdown the VM first before you tried migration?

From what I remember when I had 3.5 with vCenter 4 I could do storage vmotion when I shutdown the VM but, not when it was running.

No it's not.
