Re: Storage vMotion will not migrate powered on guest

$

I am attempting to move the guest from the VM host's local datastore to my new SAN datastore. When I right click on the guest I get the Migrate Virtual Machine window with the "Change host" and "Change datastore" options. The "Change both host and datastore" option is greyed out. Under the last option is a warning icon with the message "The virtual machine must be powered off to change th eVM's host and datastore."

 

I select the "Change datastore" option and can proceed to the next screen where I can select the datastore destination. I leave the default virtual disk format as "same format as source" and selct the target datastore. The VM Storage Profile option is greyed out and has a warning icon next to it. I select next and then the Finish button. The relocation task starts then I get an error message "Invalid configuration for device '9'" and the task stops.
