Adding Datastore from old environment

Hello,

I am migrating all of my VMs from our old 4.5 and 5.0 hosts to our new 6.5 hosts.

For the most part I have been able to use VMWare Converter and migrate them to the new environment. I have a few VMs that the VMConverter will not work on.

If I add the old storage SAN to the new 6.5 host can I then add a datastore that points to the volume where the old VMs resided and then power down the VM and then add to library on the new host or will this delete the information on that datastore?

Thanks,
