reebzor Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 So I've run into a bit of an issue that I need help figuring out. I have a Mountain Lion Guest running on my ESXi 5.1 host. The OS is located on a local datastore, but then I have about 6.5TB worth of virtual disks attached to this machine that are stored on an NFS datastore. I would like to migrate all of these disks to a different datastore. Now I know I can usually go an just migrate the disks individually, but Vcenter wont allow me to do this because OS X is not supported(?). Does any one know of a way that I can accomplish this? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288556-migrating-virtual-disks-to-new-datastore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

reebzor Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 via SSH? I guess. I don't see why I couldn't just ssh to the host and cp the files from one datastore to the other. The only problem is, I won't get a progress bar or anything, and it will take quite a bit of time to copy 6.5TB... Thanks though, it's not a bad suggestion (I will probably end up doing this anyway), but looking for something a little better.
