Research direction
The goal is to write a sample script that connects to two ESXi hosts using pyvmomi and demonstrates moving a powered off VM from one host to another. The script should likely use the RelocateVM method. The issue is open and no prior work exists. Check pyvmomi documentation on RelocateVM and existing samples for reference.
