Description

Allows you to move the disks of full clone virtual machines to a new storage and the new storage info will be updated to MCS database.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Move the disks of machine01 in provisioning scheme myProvScheme. Move OS and Identity disks to datastore1 and WBC disk to datastore2.

Move-ProvVMDisk -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme" -VMName "machine01" -DiskType OS,Identity,WBC -DestinationStorageId datastore1,datastore1,datastore2
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Move the disks of machine01 in provisioning scheme myProvScheme. Move OS and Identity disks to datastore1 and keep WBC disk storage unchanged.

Move-ProvVMDisk -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme" -VMName "machine01" -DiskType OS,Identity,WBC -DestinationStorageId datastore1,datastore1,None
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 3

Move the disks of machine01 in provisioning scheme myProvScheme. Move WBC disk to datastore2 and keep OS and Identity disks storage unchanged.

Move-ProvVMDisk -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme" -VMName "machine01" -DiskType OS,Identity,WBC -DestinationStorageId None,None,datastore2
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 4

Move the disks of machine01 and machine02 in provisioning scheme myProvScheme. The VMs don’t have WBC disk. Move OS and Identity disks to datastore1. The example applies to both CleanOnBoot and FullClone VMs.

Move-ProvVMDisk -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme" -VMName ("machine01","machine02") -DiskType OS,Identity -DestinationStorageId datastore1,datastore1
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 5

Move all VMs’ disks in provisioning scheme myProvScheme. Move OS and Identity disks to datastore1 and WBC disk to datastore2

,(Get-ProvVM -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme") | Move-ProvVMDisk -ProvisioningSchemeName "myProvScheme" -DiskType OS,Identity,WBC -DestinationStorageId datastore1,datastore1,datastore2

MoveVMDisks

ReplicateBaseDisks

RemoveStaleBaseDsik

Only one long-running task for each provisioning scheme can be processed at a time.

In the case of failure, the following errors can result.

Error Codes

ProvisioningSchemeNotFound

The specified provisioning scheme could not be located.

ProvisioningSchemeNotReady

The specified provisioning scheme is not in Ready state.

JobCreationFailed

The requested task could not be started.

DatabaseError

An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation.

DatabaseNotConfigured

The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured.

ServiceStatusInvalidDb

An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation. Communication with the database failed for

for various reasons.

WorkflowHostUnavailable

The task could not be started because the database connection is inactive.

CommunicationError

An error occurred while communicating with the service.

InvalidParameterCombination

Both PurgeJobOnSuccess and RunAsynchronously were specified. When running asynchronously, the cmdlet terminates before the job does, so it cannot clean up the completed job.

PermissionDenied

The user does not have administrative rights to perform this operation.

ConfigurationLoggingError

The operation could not be performed because of a configuration logging error.

ExceptionThrown

An unexpected error occurred. For more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops logs.
