• Initiate VMotion for each VM: Loop through the array and use the Move-VM cmdlet to perform the VMotion.foreach ($vmName in $vmNames) {
  $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  $destinationHost = “DestinationHost” # Replace with the target host’s name or IP address
  $destinationDatastore = “DestinationDatastore” # Replace with the target datastore’s nameMove-VM -VM $vm -Destination (Get-VMHost -Name $destinationHost) -Datastore (Get-Datastore -Name $destinationDatastore) -Priority High
  }

 

• For Multiple VM, Store VM names in an array: Create an array containing the names of the virtual machines you want to VMotion.

$vmNames = @(“VM1”, “VM2”, “VM3”)
