Hello, kcompton-
You can use PowerCLI to achieve such a conversion. Like you said, you can perform an sVMotion of a disk and specify a new storage format. PowerCLI's Move-VM and Move-HardDisk cmdlets each have a parameter that allow for specifying the storage format of the hard disk(s) after the move. An example of moving a VM and setting its storage format to eager zeroed thick:
Move-VMmyVM0-DatastoremyDstore0-DiskStorageFormatEagerZeroedThick-RunAsync
So, you can do this as desired by host, by cluster, by datastore, by [whatever]. That get you started?
