Can´t say Iḿ an expert Nikolaos, but how about

   1.  stop the VM
   2. storage motion it to the ACS controlled cluster
   3. start it
   4. ingest vm

again, not the expert but hope it helps. Of course if there are a lot of
them it needs automation, and if no downtime is allowed, this won´t work.
