Renaming VMware Virtual Machine and its files

Renaming VMware Virtual Machine and its files 

There are some situations where you need to rename the Virtual Machine, but renaming Virtual Machine within vCenter will not rename the folder and Virtual Machine files, this may cause confusions in the future that VM name is different and folder and file names of different from the the current VM name.

There is way to come out situation easily by performing the sVmotion (Storage vMotion) of  the Virtual Machine to different Datastore from the current datastore, This action will rename the folder and and Virtual Machine files.

There comes a situation that you are cluster is on vSAN storage and there is no other shared storage in that cluster, No worries move the Virtual Machines to local datastore of the one of the host and move them back to vSAN storage
