Storage Vmotion with a GUI

Hi,

I know I'm not the first that had this idea, to create a tool like this, but it was fun to make and it's fun to share.

So if you want to do a storage vmotion without installing a remote CLI and with the ease of a GUI, check out http://www.svmotion.com

Things to know about my tool and storage vmotion :

  • Storage Vmotion has a bug that crashes your VM, the tool checks if the VM is effected by this bug and cancels the SVmotion.  See also Vmware KB.
  • Other functions like export settings and a multi server service console user management thingy ...

Next steps for me ... in this tool ... extend it to be able to move multi datastore VMs and select different destinations for .vmx, and .vmdk's.

any remarks can be sent to gui@svmotion.com

K.
