Move just vmx file to correct datastore

$

I'm creating a procedure that will move a vm to a set of datastores, then take snapshots on the storage side, and then move the storage back. The first one exports a csv with the hard disk number and datastore location so I can put them back. It works, but it doesn't move the vmx file, how can I move just that without having to move all the disks.

 

 

 

functionprepare_for_snapshot

 

 

 

 

 

 

{

 

 

 

 

 

param (

 

$virtualMachine,

 

$datastoreCluster

 

 

 

 

 

 

)

 

 

 

 

 

$vm=Get-VM$virtualMachine|SelectName, @{N=”Datastore”;E={[string]::Join(‘,’,(Get-Datastore-Id$_.DatastoreIdList |Select-ExpandPropertyName))}}

 

$currentDatastore=$vm.Datastore

 

$harddisks=Get-HardDisk$virtualMachine

 

$hardDiskLocations=@()

 

foreach($hddin$harddisks)

 

 

 

 

 

 

{

 

 

 

 

 

$previousLocation=[PSCustomObject]@{

 

Name=$hdd.name

 

Datastore=$hdd.Filename.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')

 

 

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

$hardDiskLocations+=$previousLocation

 

 

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

$hardDiskLocations|Export-Csv$virtualMachine".csv"-UseCulture-NoTypeInformation

 

$targetDatastoreCluster=Get-DatastoreCluster-Name$datastoreCluster

}

$harddisks=Get-HardDisk$virtualMachine

 

$x=1;

 

foreach($hddin$harddisks)

 

 

 

 

 

 

{
