    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did we get this sorted yet please?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have Think disk VM's in infra which we need to convert to Thick eager zeroed while doing the SVmotion of the VM's and moving them to a spedified cluster. The Vm's should be powered ON all time. Can this be scripted somhow please. There are lot of VM's and doing this manually will take month's to complete.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any assistance anyone could provide.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;~Nitin&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Luc&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes but the VMs has to remain powered on. (it +1000 VMs and lots of them are in production with no downtime available in normal business hours)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I guess that I need to move the thin disk to another datastore to be able to do it while its online.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or migrate the thin disk to a temporary datastore and then move (convert) it back to source datastore.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did we get this sorted yet please?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have Think disk VM's in infra which we need to convert to Thick eager zeroed while doing the SVmotion of the VM's and moving them to a spedified cluster. The Vm's should be powered ON all time. Can this be scripted somhow please. There are lot of VM's and doing this manually will take month's to complete.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any assistance anyone could provide.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;~Nitin&lt;/P&gt;</description>
