In the virtual machine boot state, not at the same time vMotion and storage vMotion, of course, you can choose two steps, to migrate the host and data storage at the same time, you must shut down the virtual machine power, otherwise you cannot migrate the virtual machine. A migration to a host that is powered off is called a cold migration. With cold migration, you can choose to move the associated disk from one data store to another, or migrate a virtual machine from 1 data centers to another datacenter. Virtual machines do not need to reside on shared storage. VCenter server throws a warning when a virtual machine that is configured to have a 64-bit guest operating system is migrated to a host that does not support a 64-bit operating system. CPU compatibility checks are not applied when you cold migrate a virtual machine.
The steps to migrate both hosts and data stores using Vmotion are as follows.
Step 1 before migrating, make sure that the power to the virtual machine has been turned off. Right-click the virtual machine that you want to migrate, and in the shortcut menu that pops up, choose the Migrate option.

We migrated it to the 10.128.114.76 server, migrating the storage to other storage,

In the Select Virtual Disk Format drop-down menu, select the migrated disk format,
