Storage vMotion does not rename files?

A while back I posted that 5.0 U2 re-introduced the renaming behavior for VM file names. I was just informed by our excellent Support Team that unfortunately the release notes missed something crucial and 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”
