I'm trying to rename a .vmdk file using the vSphere CLI, which I was able to do multiple times a few months ago. The command I'm running is:
vmkfstools.pl --server <MyHost> -E [Datastore1]/<MyHost>/<MyHost>.vmdk [Datastore1]/<MyHost>/<MyNewHost>.vmdk
After entering my username and password I get the following error:
Unable to move virtual disk : fault.RestrictedVersion.summary
As I said, I was able to do this a few months ago. At that time, I was running ESXi 5.0 with no patches. I have since installed all patches for 5.0, including U1, and this is the first attempt I've made to rename a vmdk file since those patches werer installed. I've tried upgrading the CLI to 5.0.0-615831 and then 5.1.0-780721, but still get the same error.
I'm sure the question will come up as to why I'm trying to rename the vmdk file in the first place. This is the method I've used to clone my VMs. I built a baseline VM, copied the vmdk to another datastore, then renamed the vmdk.
Thanks in advance for any help.
