Hi @KhalidAlharthi,

As long as the new data store has enough performance nothing should be affected.

Hi
Could you open what you are meaning with this question?
Are you moving splunk indexes on your host to another file system or volume in same node or moving whole node to another box or….
There are already couple of answers for both cases which you could found by google. We can also answer to you after we understand better your current problem.

Migration of VMs between datastores is completely transparent for Splunk running inside that VM. So as @scelikok said - as long as you have enough performance on that datastore, you should be OK but the process itself is something that your virtualization admin should handle and it's out of scope of this forum.
