DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet moves the specified VDisk objects to the specified datastore. For RDM (RawVDisk), only one VDisk

object can be moved at once, and only moving from VMFS to VMFS is supported.





PARAMETERS

-Datastore <Datastore>

Specifies the datastore to which you want to move the metadata of the VDisk object. For flat disk, the

contents of the disk are also moved to the specified datastore.



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



-ScsiLun <ScsiLun>

Specifies the new backing SCSI LUN for the RDM VDisk object that is moved.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

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



-StorageFormat <VDiskStorageFormat>

Specifies the new storage format of the flat VDisk object that is moved.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-VDisk <VDisk[]>

Specifies the VDisk objects you want to move.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $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

INPUTS



OUTPUTS

The moved VDisk objects







NOTES









-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------



Move-VDisk -VDisk $vDisk -Datastore $ds
