Storage vMotion does not rename files by default. In order to get the renaming behavior you will have to set an advanced setting within vCenter.. This is how you do it:
- Go to “Administration”
- Click on “vCenter Server Settings”
- Click “Advanced Settings”
- Add the key “provisioning.relocate.enableRename” with value “true” and click “add”
Restart vCenter service or vCenter Server
Now the renaming of the files during the SvMotion process should work again!
All of you who need this functionality, please make sure to add this advanced setting.
