You can select an inventory object, and while holding the left mouse button you can drag it to another object. Drag is an alternative way to initiate operations that are available in the context menu, such as Move To and Migrate.
For completing some drag operations, you do not need to perform any additional actions. For completing others, you might have to go through a wizard.
Procedure
- On the vSphere Client home page, select an inventory list.
The inventory tree appears.
- Select the object to move and drag it to a destination object.
The mouse pointer changes depending on whether you can drop the object to the object you currently point to.
