I am having some trouble performing a migration using PowerCLI. I am getting the error: "Unable to access the virtual machine configuration: Unable to access file [datastore1 (3)] jcarroll-vni-3501-server-move/jcarroll-vni-3501-server-move.vmx". I am able to successfully migrate various VM's through the vSphere Web Client, I only receive this error when attempting the following PowerCLI move command: PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> Get-VM -Name jcarroll-vni-3501-server-move | Move-VM -Destination x.x.x.x.
Again, this issue does not occur when migrating this VM via Web Client. I have checked the datastore, and the file is present and named correctly. I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
This issue has been solved by specifying the destination-side datastore along with the source host: "PowerCLI> Get-VMHost x.x.x.y | Get-VM jcarroll-vni-3501-server-move | Move-VM -Destination x.x.x.x -Datastore "datastore1 (3)"
The source datastore was "datastore1 (1)".
