Before moving a virtual machine to another datastore, you need to take a snapshot of the virtual machine using the HPE SimpliVity plugin in vSphere. This ensures that the virtual machine is in a consistent state and that the data is protected. The snapshot also serves as a backup in case the move operation fails or is interrupted. After taking the snapshot, you can use the HPE SimpliVity move operation to move the virtual machine to the desired datastore, either within the same cluster or across clusters. The move operation preserves the data efficiency and resiliency of the virtual machine, and does not require any downtime or reconfiguration12. References: Move a virtual machine to another datastore - Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE SimpliVity frequently asked questions
