How to migrate hosts to one vCenter to another with vDS?

Hello

I have 3 hosts who is currently on vCenter 5 and I would like to move in my recent 5.1 vCenter.  Normally, this would be an easy task but with VDS imply I'm bit of confusion how to make the migration without losing the SVD and adjustment.  I don't want to have to rebuild the vDS in the newly built vCenter 5.1

What are the steps?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

5.1, you can export and import the settings listed here, but you will not be able to do in your case.

VDS Import/Export with PowerCLI | VMware PowerCLI Blog - Articles from VMware

It seems you are trying to do it in an environment 5.x however.  You need to move all your hosts to a standard pass and then unregister / re-register again Vcenter.

The process is well documented on this blog:

  • Moving hosts to one vCenter to another with power CLI

    All,

    Just need a little confirmation here on my understanding of PowerCLI. I'm still a novice so hoping someone can help out me.

    I need to spend 120 guests of a vCenter (4.0) in a new vCenter (4.1). These hosts are distributed among 15 poles on the vCenter origin. I think a powerCLI script will be the fastest way to do it, but I'm still pretty new for powerCLI and want to make sure I don't break anything. I have to be able to keep all the guests running and available during the process. Based on the reading of the reference guide, it looks like I can use the following commands. This is all assuming that I have already connected the appropriate vCenter. My hosts are a mixture of 4.0 ESX and ESXi 4.0.

    I am on the right track, or should I go a different route here? Is this what I should be concerned or could break using these commands?

    You're right, isn't the cmdlet Add-VMHost, one - server setting.

    But you can use the - location setting.

    This exported zip can be imported in any other environment after making the necessary changes.

  • Move the host from one cluster to another?

    I have two clusters and I need to move a host from one cluster to another. How can I do this and ask the host to connect to the new cluster instead of LUN LUN the host is connected to?

    Thank you!

    to move the host, you can disconnect and then delete.  Once it is deleted, you can 'add host' in the new cluster.  If you have guests running, you should have your SAN team present the LUNS presented to the new cluster for your ESX host, from the other group.  Then, you can use sVMotion to migrate directly from your virtual machine to the new LUN.

    Once it is completed has your team the 'old' not present SAN LUN and do a new analysis of your storage adapters.

  • go esxi hosts and virtual machines in one vCenter to another

    I built a new vCenter (Windows vCenter), I intend to move on ESXi hosts the old vCenter (Virtual appliance vCenter) to the new vCenter. I don't know if it's feasible, please notify my step is correct or not: 1) build a new vcenter 2) create a cluster with two esxi hosts first 3) Mount data (NetApp Filer Storage) to the new vCenter warehouses 4) add an empty host for the new vCenter VMs) 5 download then upload to the host in new vcenter

    Hi friend

    Its doable without any problem.

    Please follow the procedure below.

    1 build a new vCenter (your first step is correct)

    2 creating a cluster (because it is new vCenter there will not be any available host.) That is why cluster creation wizard will not get to add in the new cluster host). While initially empty cluster would be created.

    3. once the cluster is created, immediately do a right-click on the cluster and add your hosts one by one. Not necessary to cancel the registration and the VM. Virtual machines will automatically be added who were there on the data store available with all guests.

    Don't forget,

    1. we do not mount any store data in vCenter, we assemble the data store on the host.

    2. If you mount the new data store (which did not exist before), you can mount once the new hosts are added to the new cluster. (Your SAN admin help)

    3. If you want to move your virtual machines from data store before the newly added/mounted data store, please SVMotion these virtual machines (by right-clicking on the VM > migrate > data store > select the data store that is new)... Please follow the same procedure for all virtual machines.

    4. you don't need to add empty hosts to the new cluster, add just as soon as all guests without you register VMs. Later, you can migrate to other store of data according to the requirement. NO need to download or download the VM.

    5. Please make sure that your ESXi hosts will be compatible with the new vCenter. Old version of ESXi always compatible with the new version of vCenter. Just check if you have all valid licenses.

    Please let me know if you need any clarification

  • How to copy or move a virtual machine to one vCenter to another?

    In the near future, we will have a HA cluster in a foreign vCenter, connected to a dedicated line. As far as I know, we are able to integrate the HA cluster in our vCenter, but are not able to copy or move a VM in our vCenter to another because there is no direct connection between the storage.

    What will be the simplest possibility to copy or move a virtual machine to the other vCenter?

  • How to copy photos from one HD to another

    Noticed that my 10 000 entire iPhoto library is stored only on one of the three external HD that I have - and not on my Mac itself.  How can I copy / duplicate the library on another HD so that I have a backup?  Thanks in advance.

    Click the source, use the command + C to copy, select the destination, and then command + V to paste. However if you back up your computer using Time Machine you probably already have at least 1 backup. It's a good idea to have redundant backups, but you can use the copy and paste the solution in addition to using Time Machine.

  • How to transfer files from one account to another

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    "Fix a corrupted user profile.

    Try this method.

    To copy files to the new user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

    2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

    3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

      If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

    4. Click the view tab, click Show files and folders, protected the clear theHide operating system files check box, and then click OK.

    5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.dat

      • Ntuser.dat.log

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

    9. Click the Edit menu and then click on paste.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

      If you have messages in e-mail, such as Windows Mail, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.

  • Help: How to transfer data from one form to another form form

    Hello:

    I was wondering how / if it is possible to transfer data from form from one form to another form. I create a flow of forms, which are as follows: form of Incident report-> form of risk analysis-> error-> report form decision support survey Standard-> report form of risk control-> form of mitigation-> etc... You get the gist. It would be very time-consuming to constantly transfer the standard who, what, when, where and how from one form to the other. I was wondering how do? I have looked around on the net and this forum and couldn't find a tutorial or a guide? Is this possible with Adobe forms?

    I use a XML schema for the form to preload a list of employees and the standard list information and then publish the form to submit in PDF format for opening and tracking form mobile device. I notice that I can export the data in a form that is distributed in XML but I can't import in a distributed form. I'm a newb with code, but may contain a little of my own.

    An example of how to achieve this with a field name or something would be greatly appreciated! If you need anything, or a copy of the forms let me know!

    Thank you kindly,

    Al

    Hi Al,.

    I have here an example where the data in a single form are 'communicated' to other forms. Please note that there are specific script in each of the forms. It's a work in progress and one day I'll come back make a more polished example: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.
