Migrate vm's in vCD 5.1.1

Hello

I am using vCD 5.1.1 with vsphere 5 update 1 with fast provisioning.

I am trying to locate vm's to new datastores but cant.

Storage vmotion in vsphere is not available because of delta disks.

Using the relocate API command also fails with "The operation could not be performed becuse the object is in invalid state"

Thanks

One option...

Add second datastore to the same storage profile.  Then in VCD 5.1 you should be able to evacuate the old datastore and it will migrate everything, keeping the linked clones where it can (powered off systems) - powered on systems I think will grow to whatever the normal no fast provision disk size would be.
