PowerCLI - Copy-HardDisk

Hello,

Looking for some help with copying a vmdk from vm to vm.  I've tried using powercli and hit a wall with the Copy-HardDisk command. 

Esxi - 6.5

Get-HardDisk -VM VM1 |

where{$_.FileName -match "VM1/VM1_2"} |

Copy-HardDisk -DestinationPath "[LUN1] VM2/VM1_2.vmdk" -DestinationStorageFormat Thin

Error:

Get-HardDisk : The term 'Get-HardDisk' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,

or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is

correct and try again.

At line:1 char:1

+ Get-HardDisk -VM VM1 |

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-HardDisk:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
