Any chance to consolidate a running fast-provisioned VM ?

The topic says it all ;-) We have a vDC that was created with fast-provisioning. Usually it is a nice feature, but in this certain case we don't want it - and don't need it actually. But it was activated, our customer moved tons of vms witch vcloud-connector, deployed the transferred vms from catalog and we have lots of linked clones.

Shutting down the vms and consolidating them manually is not a real option. First of all it can only be done by administrators (and of course orchestrator/api/etc,), and second (and most important) i dont want to argue with our customer why all of his now productive vms have to be shutdown :-(

 

Is there any way to achieve it, like moving vm's around ? I already tried changing the storage profiles of a vm, but the vm stays fast-provisioned, although they were nicely moved from one datastore to another in the background.
