Does vcenter check the existence of vm disk files, if I relocated a vm to the same location (cluster, host) where it come from?

[Cosz3]

hello,

I am using wsdl function RelocateVM_Task (moveAllDiskBackingsAndAllowSharing) to relocated a vm,

I found when I relocated a vm to the place where it originally located, it will miss check its disk file existence.

I am not sure my guess is correct or not, anyone can help? thanks in advance.

Vcenter will not check its current existence. Even if you select same location as destination, It will say task completed. your guess is correct. When source and destination location is same, no action is performed.
