SVMotion Syntax
Published on 15 Jan 2009 · Filed in Information · 82 words (estimated 1 minutes to read)This is nothing earth-shattering; I just needed to record the syntax for the SVMotion command in the Remote CLI so that next time I need it six months from now, I’ll have an easy reference.
Here’s the syntax:
svmotion --datacenter=<DC Name> --url=https://<FQDN of VCMS>/sdk
--username=<Username on VCMS> --password=<Password> --vm=[<Source
datastore>] <Path to VMX file of VM>:<Destination datastore>
If any parameters have spaces in them—like the datacenter name or the path to the .VMX file—you’ll need to enclose those parameters in single quotes.
