Consolidating Storage Groups for VMware cluster

These are clustered ESX hosts.

Here’s the plan.  Lets say we have a storage group, SG1, with 2 ESX hosts, H1 and H2.

1.       Create a new storage group, SG2, and add the luns from SG1 to SG2.  The luns are now visible to both (I know its not recommended).

2.       VMotion all of the guests from H2 to H1.  H2 now has now guests.

3.       Remove H2 from SG1 and add H2 to SG2.

4.       VMotion all of the guests from H1 to H2.

5.       Remove H1 from SG1 and add H1 to SG2.

Will this generate any path down issues?
