Storage vmotion vm (Move-vm) only moves one disk thin

Morning,

We have vm's with multiple harddisk's and we are migrating to a new environment.

But when i do the following command it move's the vm but only 1 harddisk is thin then.

Move-VM -Datastore xxx -DiskStorageFormat Thin

I assummed that it would convert all the harddisk's to thin. But it convert's only 1.

What is the correct command to move & convert all the harddisk's instead of only 1 harddisk?

Regards,

John Bons

This works for me, all vdisks are Thin after the move.

Are you using the latest PowerCLI version ?
