NAME Move-VApp
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet moves the specified virtual appliances to a new location.
SYNTAX
Move-VApp [-VApp] <VApp[]> [-Destination] <VIContainer> [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet moves the specified vApps to a new location. If the destination is a host or a cluster, the vApps are
moved to the system "Resources" resource pool.
PARAMETERS
-Destination <VIContainer>
Specifies where you want to move the specified vApps. Supported types are Folder, VMHost, Cluster,
ResourcePool, VApp, and Datacenter.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-RunAsync [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the
output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help
About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VApp <VApp[]>
Specifies the vApps you want to move.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Zero or more relocated VApp objects
NOTES
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
$vmHost = Get-VMHost -Name "MyVMHost1"
$myDestinationRP = New-ResourcePool -Name "vApp ResourcePool" -Location $vmHost
Move-VApp -VApp (Get-Vapp -Name "MyVApp1" -Location $vmHost) -Destination $myDestinationRP
Moves a vApp from a host to a resource pool from the same host.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
$vmHost = Get-VMHost -Name "MyVMHost1"
$myDestinationVApp = New-VApp -Name "MyvApp1" -Location $vmHost
(Get-Vapp -Name "MyvApp2" -Location (Get-ResourcePool -Name "MyResourcePool1") | Move-VApp -Destination
$myDestinationVApp
Moves a vApp from a resource pool to another vApp.
-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------
Move-VApp -Name "MyvApp1" (Get-VMHost -Name "MyVMHost1")
Moves a vApp from a resource pool to a host.
-------------------------- Example 4 --------------------------
$myVmFolder1 = Get-Folder -Name "MyVMFolder1" -Location (Get-Datacenter -Name "MyDatacenter1") -NoRecursion
$myVMFolder2 = New-Folder -Name "MyVMFolder2" -Location $myVmFolder1
Get-VApp -Name "MyVApp" | Move-VApp -Destination $myVMFolder2 -RunAsync
Moves a virtual appliance to a folder asynchronously.
