Mount existing SnapClone to another ESXi host

$

We are on Snapcenter: 4.1.1 P4

vCenter: 6.0.0 9313458

ESXi: 6.0.0 10474991

VM Guest: 2012R2

 

I have multiple ESXi hosts and and Windows VM's.

I have a specific VM that is a SQL server and it has regular VMdk's and also snap clones from a production SQL VM. The clones are mounted from a datastore sc-123456789 (these are the .mdf files and clones from production) and another one is sc-987654321 (these are the .ldf files and clones from production).

 

I need to move the VM from Host 68 to host 69 but can't because some of the the vmdk's are on snap clone luns from datastores sc-123456789 & sc-987654321 and are only mounted to the ESXi host the VM is currently running on and no other ESXi hosts have these datastores mounted.

 

My question is, how can I mount the snapclone datastores sc-123456789 & sc-987654321 to another ESXi host so I can vMotion the guest VM to another host?

 

Or is that even possible??

 

Mods, if I posted this in the wrong place, please move to appropriate location.

 

Thanks
