How to move a VM to a datastore?
Currently have a very small environment on a physical box - 3 VM's, small domain - done through VM Workstation.
Now I have moved the 3 VM's to an existing host. Esxi 6.5.
Then register the VM's - does so successfully.
However - when i try to power on the VM's, I get the following message.
Power On VM
