Add disk
Adds a virtual disk to a virtual machine.
Change RAM
Changes the amount of RAM of a virtual machine.
Convert disks to thin
provisioning
Converts thick-provisioned disks of virtual machines to thin-provisioned
disks.

Converts all independent virtual machine disks to normal disks by removing
the independent flag from the disks.
Disconnect all
detachable devices from
a running virtual
machine
Disconnects floppy disks, CD-ROM drives, parallel ports, and serial ports from
a running virtual machine.
Mount floppy disk drive
Mounts a floppy disk drive FLP file from the ESX datastore.
Move and Migrate Workflows
You access these workflows from Library > vCenter > Virtual Machine management > Move and Migrate.
Mass migrate virtual
machines with storage
vMotion
Uses Storage vMotion to migrate a single virtual machine, a selection of virtual
machines, or all available virtual machines.
Mass migrate virtual
machines with vMotion
Uses vMotion, Storage vMotion, or both vMotion and Storage vMotion to
migrate a single virtual machine, a selection of virtual machines, or all available
virtual machines.
Migrate virtual machine
with vMotion
Migrates a virtual machine from one host to another by using the
MigrateVM_Task operation from the vSphere API.
Move virtual machine to
another vCenter Server
Moves a list of virtual machines to another vCenter Server system.
Quick migrate multiple
virtual machines
Suspends the virtual machines if they are powered on and migrates them to
another host using the same storage.
Quick migration of
virtual machine
Suspends the virtual machine if it is powered on and migrates it to another host
using the same storage.
Relocate virtual machine
disks
Relocates virtual machine disks to another host or datastore while the virtual
machine is powered off by using the RelocateVM_Task operation from the
vSphere API.
