PowerCLI script to sequentially Storage vMotion VMs from a CSV File

This is a PowerCLI script that I use to Storage vMotion (s/vmotion) VMs from an input file (CSV File). This helps me evacuate VMs from a datastore that will be decommissioned and this serves like an automation. With this, I do not have to log back to vCenter and manually do storage migrations. This also have a lesser performance impact compared to simultaneously queuing storage migrations manually in case this will be done on non-peak hours.

 
     
          $VMsToRelocate 
          =  
          Import-Csv 
          "ListOfVMsToRelocate.csv" 
         
 
          $Datastore 
          =  
          Get-Datastore 
          -Name 
          "datastore_name" 
         
 
          foreach 
          ( 
          $VM 
          in 
          $VMsToRelocate 
          ) 
         
 
          { 
         
 
          Write-Host 
          "Relocating VM:" 
          $VM 
          .Name  
          "to" 
          $Datastore 
         
 
          Get-VM 
          -Name 
          $VM 
          .Name |  
          Move-VM 
          -datastore 
          $Datastore 
          >  
          $null 
         
 
          } 
         
 
          Write-Host 
          "Completed!" 
         
 
   

Note that the CSV file must have a Header called Name, below is an example.

If you want to export the list of VMs that you want to migrate, you can use RV Tools to generate a VM Inventory, export the list to MS Excel, do your filtering there (such as filter by the storage path), and I personally like to sort them by used size (in MB), then simply copy-paste to the CSV file. You do not need to create the CSV file in Excel, I use Notepad++.
