How can I move an ESXi host to another?

Hello

I have 2 ESXi hosts running on similar hardware. SSH is enabled on both hosts. I need to move all the VMs from one host to another. What will be the most effective way to do it?

Most average effecitive: buy vSphere Essentials, configure vCenter, connect the two hosts, virtual machines turn off, do a right click and "migrate." 1 k$ for 3 hosts and vCenter.

Less effective, but cheaper way: turn off virtual machines, copy VMs to an another ESXi, search for all data, made store .vmx files right-click and "add to the inventory.

    How can I move a product registered to another computer?

    Hi Fred,.

    To transfer the license from one pc to another how to proceed is to 'Disable' the license first of the older machine.

    To accomplish this, you need to launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'disable '.

    On the new machine, you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Turn on' the software and it will complete the transfer of license.

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • SOS! HOW CAN I MOVE MY PROJECT PPCS6 IN ANOTHER HARD DRIVE?

    Help, please!

    I have the first of my documentary in 10 days and it is not yet finished. I worked full time... but HARD DISC of the PC makes weird noises and often fails causing the computer restart... I'm afraid of that HARD drive is about to break up permanently soon.

    I can't risk and I bought a new HARD drive... but I'm not sure of my PPCS6 project will work well if I start working in a new HARD drive.

    I read all along and only solution I found is to the 'project leader'... but then it says "size of project result (estimate): 330 GB"... who is just crazy.»

    I'm now back up the preview of the project files folder to the new HARD drive, but I don't know that he's going to be enough.

    Please, I beg you! Any who put little light in this complicated situation!

    How can I continue to work in my project to a new HARD drive and finish my documentary?

    Thanks in advance for your help, it is really necessary now!

    Miguel

    Welcome! Yes, the project file contains everything you have changed: the sequence, effects, and transitions that you have applied, and also titles that you have created. If you open the project copied on the same pc with the same version first, but HARD drive different, the project will work the same as it used to.

    First also offers a lot of customization, as rendering, effect presets, keyboard presets, presets layout sequence, custom workspace (the window layout) that are not only related to a project, but to the program in general. You can save these files too. in the folder

    User > Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 8.7 or 6 > user profile >

    You find presets for effects (.prfpset)

    Keyboard layouts (file Win)

    Personalized workspace (record layout)

    However, this is only relevant if you reinstall first or your entire system or you want to work in another computer with the same settings.

  • How can I move Photoshop Elements 9 to another computer?

  • How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

    I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

    When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?


    Thank you


    Bruce

    When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

    How can I move the hair of a person from one photo to another and place it on another person? I went through each instructional video you have and have not been able to master this. I tried the smart brush without result, and frankly, I don't think that your product is very intuitive. I work with the software as a professional and I would like to speak directly to someone who could guide me through this process, as I do for one of my clients of having problems with the software that I represent.
