<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<MoveReplicationGroupParams xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vr/v6.0" xmlns:vmext="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/extension/v1.5">
<NewDatastore>
<vmext:VimServerRef href="https://10.10.10.10/api/admin/extension/vimServer/c1abda33-81a8-4cf1-aa89-5af79658f84a" type="application/vnd.vmware.admin.vmwvirtualcenter+xml"/>
