My storage team wants to move a SQL cluster (2 node VM) from an old data store to Storage vMotion . What are the precautions I can take before this exercise is performed? I am planning to take database snapshots before the exercise and then shutdown the cluster and databases. The RDM's will be reconnected once the VM's have been moved to the new datastore. Are there any other best practices which I can follow before this process? Please advice.
