I am looking for a script which helps to perform svmotion (performing 4 VM storage vmotion at a given time). I found the below script fulfills my requirement. but for some reason I am getting the error as below. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Error Received:

not null or empty, and then try the command again.
