[jssidhu71]

I need to Storage vmotion all vms resident on one datastore to another datastore within the same cluster. All VMS have one vmdk.. has anyone a script or done something similar..

I've done this with a powersheel scrippt pretty simply...

Use halr9000's function here:

http://poshcode.org/575

And wrap it in something like this (pseudocode)

Get-Datastore (Name=whatever) | Get-VM | SVmotion-VM (get-datastore NewDS)

You should also be able to do:

Get-Datastore "OldDatastore" | Get-VM | Foreach { Move-VM -Datastore (Get-Datastore "NewDatastore") }
