Move-SVTvm

NAME Move-SVTvm



SYNOPSIS

Move an existing virtual machine from one HPE SimpliVity datastore to another





SYNTAX

Move-SVTvm [-VMname] <String> [-DataStoreName] <String> [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Relocates the specified virtual machine(s) to a different datastore in the federation. The datastore can be

in the same or a different datacenter. Consider the following when moving a vm:

1. You must power off the OS guest before moving, otherwise the operation fails

2. In its new location, make sure the moved VM(s) boots up after the local OVC and shuts down before it

3. Any pre-move backups (local or remote) stay associated with the VM(s) after it/they moves. You can use these

backups to restore the moved VM(s).

4. HPE OmniStack only supports one move operation per VM at a time. You must wait for the task to complete

before

attempting to move the same VM again

5. If moving VM(s) out of the current cluster, DRS rules (created by the Intelligent Workload Optimizer) will

vMotion the moved VM(s)

to the destination
