We have a 5.1 vCenter server, with several hosts, some on 5.0 and others in 5.1.
We are licensed in Standard edition.
Using the vCenter Web Client we can Storage vMotion VMs between the 5.1 hosts (with local storage).
However, using the vSphere Client (Desktop client), we can't do that, the option to 'Change both host and datastore' is grayed out with a note saying
The virtual machine must be powered off to change the VM's host and datastore.
Any ideas on what to check? looks like a bug in the vSphere client.
Versions:
- vCenter 5.1.0, 1123961
- hosts ESXi 5.1.0, 1065491
- vSphere Client: 5.1.0 1064113
