Hey,
i am working on a script which check the status of the datastore befor a snapshot of a vm is taken. If the free space on the ds in not enough it will move the vm to a other ds which will meet the needed free space.
The script works well so far. But sometimes the move process take a time and i want to get some Info about the state of completion of the task...I tryed this..
<code snip>
if ($targetDS) {
write-host "Die VM" $vm "wird nun von" $aktivDS.Name "nach" $targetDS.Name "verschoben" -ForegroundColor DarkGreen
$moveVMJob = Move-VM -VM $vm -Datastore $targetDS.Name -RunAsync -Confirm:$false
while ('Success', 'Error' -notcontains $moveVMJob.State) {
$moveVMJob
Write-Output $moveVMJob.PercentComplete
sleep 5
}
</code snip>
<output snip>
Die VM snaptest2 wird nun von testserver_02-000C2 nach testserver_03-00088 verschoben
Name State % Complete Start Time Finish Time
