Hi Guys, have a quirky issue with Storage Vmotion in ESX 3.5 - Im using a plugin by Andy Kutz ( I think is his name) as recommended by Elias Khnaser.
It works fine apart from when SVmotioning a machine, even though I select just the machine and the C drive and move it to a different LUN, and leave the huge data drives (D:\) it moves all the drives associated with the machine. This is an issue because our mail server has a 50gb C drive and 750gb D drive.
We want all the virtual machine C drives on VMFS1 which correspoinds to LUN1 in Command View EVA and we want the huge data drives on a different 4tb LUN.
Has anyone noticed this issue or rather has anyone successfully moved virtual machine drives from one LUN to another and left the D drives where they were? Ive seen another plugin by Lost Creations i think - Can anyone recommend this?

Andy founded Lost Creations and it's the same plug-in.
As for your issue have a look at this post by Legendary from the VMware Communities forums VMware Communities: Storage VMotion Fails When Moving Single VMDK
