Re: Cannot migrate VMware VM with root disk to host in different cluster (CloudStack 4.10)

[Tutkowski, Mike]

Hi,

The CloudStack API that the GUI is invoking is migrateVirtualMachineWithVolume 
(which is expected since I’m asking to migrate a VM from a host in one cluster 
to a host in another cluster).

A MigrateWithStorageCommand is sent to VmwareResource, which eventually calls 
VirtualMachineMO.changeDatastore.

    public boolean changeDatastore(VirtualMachineRelocateSpec relocateSpec) 
throws Exception {
        ManagedObjectReference morTask = 
_context.getVimClient().getService().relocateVMTask(_mor, relocateSpec, 
VirtualMachineMovePriority.DEFAULT_PRIORITY);
        boolean result = _context.getVimClient().waitForTask(morTask);
        if (result) {
            _context.waitForTaskProgressDone(morTask);
            return true;
        } else {
            s_logger.error("VMware RelocateVM_Task to change datastore failed 
due to " + TaskMO.getTaskFailureInfo(_context, morTask));
        }
        return false;
    }

The parameter, VirtualMachineRelocateSpec, looks like this:

The following error message is returned:

Required property datastore is missing from data object of type 
VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator

Thoughts?

    Can you trace which API call being used and what parameters were specified?
