VMware: Best way to move disks to new datastore?
On this VMhost, there are two datastores and two VMs.
Each VM has two disks - an OS disk and data disk.
For some reason, it was initially configured with all 4 disks on only one of the two datastores. The second datastore is completely unused.
I want to take one disk from each VM and move it to the second datastore.
What is the best way to do this? I remember there was a GUI option for this but am having trouble finding it.

if not you would have to shut down the VM and go browse the datastore then copy from one datastore to the other one. This can be done when you right click a datastore and click browse
