Table 12-2. svmotion Command Parameters (Continued)
Parameter Description
new_datastore
The name of the new datastore to which the virtual machine
configuration file or disk is to be moved. Do not include brackets
around the name of the new datastore.
--disks
If you do not specify this parameter, all virtual disks associated with
a virtual machine are relocated to the same datastore as the virtual
machine configuration file. By specifying this parameter, you can
choose to locate individual virtual disks to different datastores.
To keep a virtual disk on its current datastore, use the --disks
option for that disk with its current datastore as the
new_datastore
.
virtual_disk_datastore_path
The datastore path to the virtual disk file.
Determine the Path to a Virtual Machine Configuration File
The path to the virtual machine configuration file is a necessary argument to the svmotion command.
You must specify the datastore path to the virtual machine’s configuration file in the
VM_config_datastore_path
svmotion command.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client inventory, select the virtual machine and click the Summary tab.
2 Click Edit Settings to display the Virtual Machine Properties dialog box.
3 Click the Options tab, and select General Options.
The path to the virtual machine configuration file appears in the Virtual Machine Configuration File text box.
Determine the Path to a Virtual Disk File
You must specify the virtual disk datastore path as part of the svmotion command.
Procedure

3 Click the Hardware tab, and select the virtual disk from the list of devices.
The path to the virtual disk file appears in the Disk File text box.
Storage vMotion Examples
The examples show how to use the Storage vMotion command-line interface to relocate a virtual machine and
all its disks, or to relocate the virtual machine configuration file while leaving the disks in place.
The examples in this section are formatted on multiple lines for readability. The command should be issued
on a single line.
