Move and Migrate Workflows
With move and migrate workflows, you can migrate virtual machines.
You can access the move and migrate workflows from Library > vCenter > Virtual Machine management >
Move and Migrate in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
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
system
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 migrate 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.
Other Workflows
With other workflows, you can enable and disable Fault Tolerance (FT), extract virtual machine information,
and find orphaned virtual machines.
You can access these workflows fromLibrary > vCenter > Virtual Machine management > Others in the
Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
Disable FT
Disables Fault Tolerance for a specified virtual machine.
Enable FT
Enables Fault Tolerance for a specified virtual machine.
Extract virtual machine
information
Returns the virtual machine folder, host system, resource pool, compute
resource, datastore, hard drive sizes, CPU and memory, network, and IP
address for a given virtual machine. Might require VMware Tools.
Find orphaned virtual
machines
Lists all virtual machines in an orphaned state in the Orchestrator inventory.
Lists the VMDK and VMTX files for all datastores in the Orchestrator inventory
that have no association with any virtual machines in the Orchestrator
inventory. Sends the lists by email (optional).
