The best guidelines I can give you are: Try first on at a test system. Do the backup on the real machine, create some isolated VM (isolated so that it does not interfere with your hosts/storage) somewhere to be used as a test host (or a physical machine if you have one), some storage somewhere, and restore on it. Make it work. Document what you needed to do. Ask here with specific questions if/when you have them. Then do on the production setup. Also clarify your needs. Do you need no-downtime for the VMs? If so, that's more complex. If you don't, it might be enough/simpler to deploy a new setup and just import the existing storage. Do you have HA VMs? etc. > > > The reason I need to move the HE VM is because we are decommissioning the > current storage array where the HE VM is located. > Good luck!
