OK

Returns MoRefTask of type(s) application/json
This response body class contains all of the following: MoRefExtensibleManagedObject 
{
    "_typeName": "string",

NotSupported: if the virtual machine is marked as a template.

InvalidArgument: in the following cases:

  • the target host and target pool are not associated with the same compute resource
  • the target pool represents a cluster without DRS enabled, and the host is not specified
  • Datastore in a diskLocator entry is not specified
  • the specified device ID cannot be found in the virtual machine's current configuration
  • the object specified in relocate cannot be found
  • the target pool is not specified while checking feasibility of relocation to a different datacenter or different vCenter service
  • the datastore is not specified when testType parameter includes datastore tests while checking feasibility of relocation to a different datacenter or a different vCenter service

InvalidState: if the operation cannot be performed because of the host or virtual machine's current state. For example, if the host is in maintenance mode, or if the virtual machine's configuration information is not available.
