.SYNOPSIS
Migrate VM to new host
.DESCRIPTION
This script will migrate the VM to a new host.
.PARAMETER HypervisorPlatform
The hypervisor platform, will be passed from ControlUp Console
.PARAMETER strVCenter
The name of the vcenter server that will be connected to to run the PowerCLI commands
.PARAMETER strVMName
The name of the virtual machine the action is to be performed on/for.
.PARAMETER srtVMWareHost
The name of the host the VM has to be migrated to (preferably FQDN)
.EXAMPLE
Example is not relevant as this script will be called through ControlUp Console
.NOTES
VMware PowerCLI Core needs to be installed on the machine running the script.
Loading VMWare PowerCLI will result in a 'Join our CEIP' message. In order to disable these in the future run the following commands on the target system:
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -ParticipateInCEIP $false (or $true, if that's your kind of thing)
