How do I move a single virtual disk form one data store to a different data store?

I have one host running vSphere 4 enterprise that is part a a vCenter 5.5 foundation cluster.  I need to move all the guests off this host to upgrade it. This host has a guest that is using the local hard drive as a data store.  This guest has six (6) hard drive of which only one uses the local hard drive as a data store.  How do I move that hard drive to a different data store?

 

When I try to use "Move" or "Migrate" with vCenter (either the client or the web interface) it appears as I can only move all the data stores a single entity, not each data store individually.  Can I move a single data store someway with the guest still powered on, or do I have to power it off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?


Thanks


Bruce
