VMware Quick Migration

How cool is this Powershell script! Mike D. wrote a powershell script that does exactly what Hyper-V’s quick migration does. It should be possible to integrate it with the VC Client, and if they open up the ESXi SDK as Mike suggest than you have the functionality for the free hypervisor from VMware. By the way talking about a free hypervisor, Hyper-V is also available as of today.

Unfortunately the free ESXi has a VERY limited API set enabled in the current 3.5 U2 release. This script won’t work with it. I’ve brought this to the product manager’s attention and I’m hoping we can open the API set up to everything shortly. Not really sure why it was restricted in the first place. For now you’ll need at least the Foundation SKU of Virtual Infrastructure.

Got this straight out of the article….

the API isn’t limited, it’s exactly the same asaik, but it needs the license before it’s completely opened up. So as soon as that’s fixed this script wil work,
