Get-VM “EXCHHUB1(1)“ | Move-VM -datastore (Get-datastore “VPLEX_TEST_LIN_WIN_SATA_01“) -DiskStorageFormat ???

With the Move-VM only Thin2GB and Thick are accepted.

And if you look at the RelocateVM_Task method, that only supports thinProvisioned and eagerlyScrubin, in the VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator object.

So it seems to be a vSphere 5.x restriction.
