In my case, it was different, and specific to the vApp, but not related on how the vApp was configured.ĭon’t try to delete the vApp, this operation will delete also all the VMs inside it! You do not have the required privileges for either of the objects that you want to move or for the destination objects.

Funny that this issue was not present in legacy vSphere Client. The KB was similar, but related to issues with permission and only for vSphere 6.0. The only one that I’ve found was: KB 2145731 – Web Client references need to be updated to vSphere Web Client. It’s something boring, and VMware’s KB does not help. This action is not available for any of the selected objects at this time. You cannot migrate, you cannot rename, you cannot move in the (host and cluster) inventory, you cannot add notes, you cannot edit VM settings! Note that you loose also all plugin actions, like vSphere Replication!Īlso if you are using the drag and drop feature and you try to move a VM from the vApp to another resource pool or just in the cluster you will receive this error message:

You will notice that all the VM inside a vApp will lose some features, at least in the vSphere Web Client contextual menu: If you are using vSphere vApp (a feature that requires a DRS enabled cluster), you may have some issues when you need to remove a VM outside from a vApp. It should be the main web client (see a list of possible GUI clients in vSphere 6.5), but sometimes does not work as expected (without considering possible Flash bugs). Seems that the vSphere Web Client has some bugs, also with the latest vSphere 6.5 version.
