vMotion - Command Help

    Hey guys,

I am using William Lam extended vMotion script:

http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2015/02/did-you-know-of-an-additional-cool-vmotion-capability-in-vsph...

I got the script to work properly after reading some forums on a piece that was erring out. However I am getting stuck on how to tell the script to move the VM into a dvs network. I currently can do Standard Switch to Standard Switch. Here is the error I am seeing, I am hoping someone has seen this or can provide help.

VERBOSE: 9/10/15 10:10:54 AM Wait-Task Finished execution Wait-Task : 9/10/15 10:10:55 AM    Wait-Task        The operation for the entity "vMotion-Test01" failed with the following message: "Currently connected network interface 'Network adapter 1' uses network 'DVSwitch: 21 7a3e 50 33 ff d5 53-d0 0e c1 dd b1 8c 5e c1', which is not accessible."At C:\Scripts\vMotion.ps1:166 char:10

Here is the script I use:

<#

.SYNOPSIS

   This script demonstrates an xVC-vMotion where a live running Virtual Machine

   is live migrated between two vCenter Servers which are NOT part of the

   same vCenter SSO Domain which is only available using the vSphere 6.0 API

Thanks guys for your help!

As far as I can tell, the function in its current form will only vMotion VMs that are connected to VSS, not VDS

You are correct. In its current form all I can do is VSS. I am looking for a way to modify it to allow vDS to vDS. I have searched online for any examples of just a migration of vDS to vDS with no luck. Its the same network on both vcenters, however the name of the vDS changes.

Thank you for your time with this.
