Hello All,
Working on a script to migrate VMs from a 6.0 vcenter to new 6.7 vcenter in different SSO domains. I'm reading the VM names, destination clusters, and datastores (if provided) from a .CSV file.
If a datastore isn't provided the script goes and find the datastore with most free space and see if it has enough to perform migration at the destination cluster.
I'm getting below error messages. This isn't making sense to me as i pass the name through as $vmToMigrate and it goes out into environment and get the object info and stores it in $vm prior to calling Move-VM cmdlet.
Borrowed main functionality from script posted here:Using PowerCLI to vMotion VM between different SSO domains · cloudmaniac.net

Move-VM : 6/26/2019 9:15:33 PM Move-VM One or more objects are specified by name. There is no server list explicitly specified, so an attempt was made to determine a single server by the managed objects passed to the cmdlet as arguments. However the arguments
come from more than one server which makes it impossible to unambiguously select single server.
