1) What is storage VMotion ?
VMware Storage VMotion allows virtual machines’ disks to be relocated to different data store locations completely transparently while the virtual machine is running, with zero downtime. … Before moving a virtual machines disk file, Storage VMotion moves the “home directory” of the virtual machine to the new location.
Storage vMotion via PowerCLI :
Get-Content vm_Name.txt | ForEach-Object {
$vm = $_
Write-Host $vm
Move-VM -VM $vm -Datastore Datastore_Name
}
