#### MigrateVirtualSystemToHost (uint32)

#### Method Qualifiers (MigrateVirtualSystemToHost)

Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Description | string | Method to move, migrate or relocate a virtual system to a target host specified by a network name or IP address. Return code description: 0: Success: Virtual system was migrated. 1: Error: Method not supported by implementation. 2: Error: Virtual system migration failed for unspecified reasons. 3: Error: Virtual system migration time out; the virtual system state is unknown. 4: Error: One or more parameters are formally invalid. For example, the value of the DestinationHost parameter could have been specified in an unsupported format. 5: Error: The source virtual system, the source host system or the target host system are in a state that does allow initiation of the requested virtual system migration; this may be a temporary condition. 6: Error: One or more input parameters are incompatible as a set, or with respect to the target host. For example the value of the MigrationNewSettingData parameter contains properties that are not supported by the target host system identified by the value of the DestinationHost parameter. Note: The MigrateVirtualSystemToHost( ) methods is intended as a transitional solution only until modelling of cluster support is available.
