VMware Storage vMotion

Hi All,

I have tried Vmware Storage vMotion (interactive mode) in my test lab. For storage vMotion I used one local disk datastore and one iSCSI datastore. I tried Storage vMotion for local disk datastore to iSCSI datastore and vice versa.

When Storage vMotion happenning, there was lost of packets (PING) twice at 9% and 90% of process.

The Storage vMotion steps are as followes


C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\bin>svmotion.pl --interactive

Entering interactive mode. All other options and environment variables will be
ignored.

Enter the VirtualCenter service url you wish to connect to (e.g. https://myvc.my
corp.com/sdk, or just myvc.mycorp.com): 10.129.150.181
Enter your username: administrator
Enter your password:

Attempting to connect to https://10.129.150.181/sdk.
Connected to server.

Enter the name of the datacenter: testdatacenter
Enter the datastore path of the virtual machine (e.g. [datastore1] myvm/myvm.vmx
): [iSCSI1] testvm/testvm.vmx
Enter the name of the destination datastore: esxone:storage1

You can also move disks independently of the virtual machine. If you want the d
isks to stay with the virtual machine, then skip this step..
Would you like to individually place the disks (yes/no)? no
