Syntax
Default (Default)

Description
The Move-SCVMHostCluster cmdlet moves a host cluster object managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) from one host group to another.
You cannot use the Move-SCVMHostCluster cmdlet to move a VMware host cluster. Instead, use vCenter Server to move a VMware host cluster.
Examples
Example 1: Move a specified host cluster to a new parent host group
PS C:\> $VMHostCluster = Get-SCVMHostCluster -Name "VMHostCluster01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $DestinationHG = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "Production"
PS C:\> Move-SCVMHostCluster -VMHostCluster $VMHostCluster -ParentHostGroup $DestinationHG
The first command gets the host cluster object named VMHostCluster01.Contoso.com and stores the object in the $VMHostCluster variable.
The second command gets the host group object named Production and stores the object in the $DestinationHG variable.
The last command moves host cluster VMHostCluster01.Contoso.com, stored in $VMHostCluster, from its current host group to the host group named Production, stored in $DestinationHG.
Parameters
