Can't move thick provision vmdk to simplivity datastore

I tried to move, copy, and migrate using motion a thick vmdk file to the datastore but the result is the file transformed into thin vmdk, so is there anyway to do this because I need to use it for multi-writer shared disk

Hello @Bhoommy, 

 

This is how it works by design for Simplivity, it will treat lazy thick, zeroed out thick, and thin all as thin provisioned.
