moving virtual machine from one lun to another - doing it right?

$

Hello.

 

reaching out to make sure we are doing this right.

 

Overview: We have an HP c3000 enclosure with some HP SAN storage. Just added a new IBM v3770 storage. Lun's have been created and presented. All the ESXi host can see and access the new LUN's. We are running ESXi 5.1.0 build 799733

 

We have 1 VM that has grown over time and spans multiple lun's ( like 5 different) on our HP system.  Our objective is to move it over to one contiguous lun on the IBM storage.

 

Want to make sure we are doing this right. Is it a simple case of shutting down the VM and migrating it over to the new LUN? How will the renaming of the VMDK files take place?

 

Also, what happens if the transfer fails. Will I  be able to turn my VM back on?
