No storage vmotion with ESXi 6.5 Host Client?

Hi,

I am using ESXi 6.5 as a standalone server on a HPE Microserver Gen8 (without vcenter) - just with the host client.

I am still in the evaluation mode, so all licenses should be there.

I am trying now to move a VM from one data store to another one. It is not possible to use storage vmotion without a vcenter? I am not able to find any option like this. Is there any other hint to do that storage vmotion ( do not have to be an online storage vmotion) - I will need it often.

I also power down the machine and try to move the folder manually from one data store to the other, but this takes a HUGE amount of time (hours for 15 GB).

Thanks for your helpl

regards

Chris
