I couldn't find the syntax you provided in the XS6.1 Admin Guide or the VM Users Guide so wouldn't have found found out without your help, so thanks.
I tried the vdi-pool-migrate command which worked well with a VM running. I didn't try the new syntax for vm-migrate yet. Being able to move VMs live between pools (which would include single host pools), and to individual hosts within external pools, is a hugely useful capability for a number of reasons. The team which implemented this should be commended. So thanks again for your help.
