Migrating virtual machine swap (.vswp) files from one datastore to another

To migrate the .vswp file to the same location as the virtual machine:

1. Ensure that a new datastore is available to all your ESX/ESXi in your cluster.
 
2. Configure your ESX/ESXi host to use the destination datastore for the .vswp files of their virtual machines.
 
3. vMotion the virtual machines to another ESX/ESXi host in your cluster. This recreates the .vswp files on the destination datastore.
 

4. Optionally, vMotion your Virtual Machines back to the original ESX/ESXi host.
