Service Instance Validate Migration
Deprecated as of vSphere API 4.0, use VirtualMachineProvisioningChecker instead.
Checks the validity of a set of proposed migrations.
A migration is the act of changing the assigned execution host of a virtual machine, which can result from invoking MigrateVM_Task or RelocateVM_Task.
Required privileges: System.View
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case ServiceInstance/{moId}.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 8.0.2.0 APIs.

}The PowerState type defines a simple set of states for a virtual machine: poweredOn, poweredOff, and suspended.
This type does not model substates, such as when a task is running to change the virtual machine state. If the virtual machine is in a state with a task in progress, it transitions to a new state when the task completes. For example, a virtual machine continues to be in the poweredOn state while a suspend task is running, and changes to the suspended state once the task finishes.
As a consequence of this approach, clients interested in monitoring the status of a virtual machine should typically track the activeTask data object in addition to the powerState object.
Possible values:
poweredOff: The virtual machine is currently powered off.poweredOn: The virtual machine is currently powered on.suspended: The virtual machine is currently suspended.
The set of tests to run. If this argument is not set, all tests will be run.
A set of events that describe the warnings or errors that would apply if the proposed set of migrations were executed.

]InvalidArgument: if the target host(s) and target pool for a migration are not associated with the same compute resource, or if the host parameter is left unset when the target pool is associated with a non-DRS cluster.
InvalidPowerState: if the state argument is set and at least one of the specified virtual machines is not in that power state.
NoActiveHostInCluster: if a target host is not specified and a cluster associated with a target pool does not contain at least one potential target host. A host must be connected and not in maintenance mode in order to be considered as a potential target host.
