Instructions

Instructions :

3.Verify from the PVS console that the PVS server has got 0 connection on it.
(To Rebalance Provisioning Server connections manually:

b.Click Rebalance. A rebalance results message displays under the Status column.
c.Click Close to exit the dialog.)
4.Migrate the PVS server from one datastore to another datastore from hypervisor. 
5.Enable the Stream service on that PVS server and wait for connections to re-distribute again.
