The Move-VMStorage cmdlet moves the storage of a virtual machine.
PS C:\> Move-VMStorage "Test VM" -DestinationStoragePath D:\TestVM
Moves all files associated with a virtual machine test VM to D:\TestVM
PS C:\> Move-VMStorage "Test VM" -VirtualMachinePath D:\TestVM\Config -SnapshotFilePath D:\TestVM\Snapshots -SmartPagingFilePath D:\TestVM\SmartPaging -VHDs @(@{"SourceFilePath" = "C:\TestVM\Disk1.VHDX"; "DestinationFilePath" = "D:\TestVM\Disks\Disk1.VHDX"}, @{"SourceFilePath" = "C:\TestVM\Disk2.VHDX"; "DestinationFilePath" = "D:\TestVM\Disks\Disk2.VHDX"})
Moves all files associated with a virtual machine test VM to different locations under D:\TestVM.
Allows the move operation to be attempted even if the paths specified for the destination computer cannot be verified prior to attempting the move operation.
