Question: sVmotion and vCloud Director - updating VM's storage profile

[Kiil]

Hi,

I'm going to migrate a lot of vApps/virtual machines running in vCloud Director to a new storage system, and have created new Storage Profiles for this...

I've found info and tried out some alterntives, and one that _almost_ works is the script below.  But, the virtual machines storage profile is not updated accordingly.  Could some please look through the script and maybe point me in the right direction to get this right ?

The environment I'm trying to run this in runs:

vCloud Director 5.1

vCenter 5.0 U2

ESXi 5.0 U2

You will notice that I've commented out some commands.  This because this doesn't work here...this is related to profiles!
