Storage VMotion (with a gui)

Ever put some VMs on local disk and wanted to move them to your shared storage?  Have you wanted to do that without outage?

Maybe you wanted to patch an ESX box that has local VMs without bringing them down?

Maybe you didn't listen to me and used a block protocol instead of NFS for your VMs and now you are having to resize your LUNS and you didn't use something that resizes gracefully.

Then use storage vmotion:


For free with a little gui in case you are not a CLI junky.
