Just a quick one today and I’m only putting it up here because it’s a one-liner and they always make me smile
Of the multiple clusters on one vCenter server that I’m working on, one of them has some resource pools that we don’t really need. Rather than dragging and dropping a few dozen VMs from one resource pool to the root resource pool of the cluster in the vSphere client I thought I’d use PowerCLI.
Get-ResourcePool -name "MyResourcePool" | Get-VM | Move-VM -Destination (Get-Cluster -name "MyCluster" | Get-ResourcePool -name "Resources")
Job Done!
