Migration of a VM between two datacenter issues

$

Hi!

I just finished a mucky migration of a VM from a datacenter to another.

VMotion was not possible, so moving the files manually was the only option.

After downloading and uploading files to separate datastores, i have now a VM running with the .vmdk file from one folder named "vsw-forum", and the .vmx file and working directory from a folder named "vsw-forum_2".

 

The reason for this is that I uploaded the files to a new folder on the new datastore named "vsw-forum", and when I created the new VM and set the hard disk file option to use the uploaded vmx file from the new folder "vsw-forum", it created the "vsw-forum_2" folder automatically, and put the rest of the files for the new VM in that folder.

 

How to fix this?

 

I should have, maybe, created the VM in a different way in the first place.

How?
