How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

  • How to move the virtual machine from one host to another?

    The two boxes under ESXi 5.0 (hypervisors freely licensed).

    I have a virtual machine (FreeBSD) that I need to go to another box.

    Network ports are not the same, but I guess that's not a biggie to reconfigure the network cards. Other than that, I have to follow a few best practices/SOPS or copy & paste is everything I need to run perfectly on a different host?

    Thank you very much!

    FastSCP allows you to copy directly between hosts, so it can save a lot of time you copy.  I don't know what you mean by 'manually' copy files.  Do you mean using the vShpere client and download the files to a location then download them to the new host?  Either way works perfectly, but FastSCP you must save a step.

    If you have currently snapshots, you can consolidate first or leave em and just copy them with the rest of the virtual machine. There should be no need to do something with snapshots, if you perform a migration 'offline '.  As long as you take all the files, snapshots will be displayed on the destination host computer when you save the vm on the host.

    I did 'on-line' migration of large virtual machines first to the take a snapshot on the source host, copy basic to the first destination host disks while the virtual machine was still running on the source host.  When I was ready to migrate the CPU processing, I power off the virtual machine, copy the other files (which would include the deltas from disk and whatnot) and turn on the vm on the destination host (which would cause only a few minutes of downtime).  Later, I consolidate records by removing the snapshot on the destination host.  Way to a poor man to do a migration of vm on ESXi free edition with little downtime.

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

    Hello

    I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

    Thanks in advance...

    If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

  • 890124. how to move a virtual machine from one storage to another?

    Hello

    I decided to increase the RAM of a virtual machine and storage space in which stood the machine is less than 1 GB, it says that it is impossible to start the virtual machine. So I decided to move the virtual machine to secondary storage which had enough free space.

    How can I make vSphere Client aware of this change? How can I know what's happened? what I need is to boot the machine which is now moved to secondary storage. is this possible?

    THX

    After again moving data store, you must register this virtual machine to be visible in the list at left.

    1 browse the data store and open the corresponding VM folder

    2. Select the .vmx file and right-click.

    3. Select the option "Add to the inventory" and keep clicking Next until you have finished.

    4. now switch on the machine. He will ask a question that you copied or moved.

    5. Select I moved it.

    6. your machine is running.

    And you can see the virtual machine in the list after step 3 itself.

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another ESXi

    Hi all

    Quick question, if I wanted to move a virtual machine hosted on a server ESXi ESXi server what is the easiest way? Should I use the converter to do?

    Thank you

    In this case, the options are:

    • Standalone converter
    • Browser data store (download and transfer files)

    Are you referring to the evolution of the virtual machines network portgroup of one to the other and in your case potentially issue on to another vSwitch? If so, take a look at this script: updateVMPortgroup.pl everything you do really makes a call to ReconfigVM_Task() and passing in a specification change and put to day the network in which you want to change

    Hello

    How can I copy a virtual machine disk local to a data store if I don't have storage vmotion? We bought vSphere Advanced... :-(

    Thank you!

    or you can just power up the virtual machine off the coast and make a migration.  One of the options will be to move the disc as well.

  • Move a virtual machine from one SAN to another

    Top o ' the morning, tech heads,

    I have a VM, I need to move from one san to another. I think I'll need to shut down the guest operating system, download all the files (see image), create a lun on the san of destination, then download the files to that lun. Lack of vmware 5.5. Is that what that sounds right?

    Your ESXi host vSphere is a stand-alone type or is managed by vCenter? If managed by vCenter, just make a Storage vMotion... If not, take a look at this article: VMware KB: move or copy of a virtual machine in a VMware environment

  • Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

    Hi all

    Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.

  • How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

    Hello

    could you help me with a question?

    I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

    I found this article:

    http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

    but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

    Thank you.

    If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

    To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

    If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

  • What is the best method to transfer a virtual machine from one PC to another?

    I am a novice in VMWare workstation. I created my first SharePoint 2010 development VM, and my boss wants me to give him a copy of my SP 2010 VM. He told me to just give him the. VMX file, but I believe that there must be a better method to transfer a virtual machine from one PC to another.

    Thanks in advance.

    Coltrane.

    Coltrane,

    to transfer a virtual machine from one PC to another, shut down the virtual computer and copy the complete folder with all the files (vmx, vmdk,...) on another PC.

    A thin to keep in mind (outside the Windows license) if the virtual machine is one attached to your network, you must change the copied disk - as you would with a cloned physical system - to have a unique host name, MAC address and IP address.

  • How to move templates of virtual machines from one host to another, if the partners host is offline

    Hi people,

    I knew that I need to convert a virtual computer model to a VM to move from one host to another, but that when the host, that the model is associated with, is offline / broken? Is it possible to make it work again on the vsphere client or only via the command-line interface of cmd and save the model with the host?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Bjoern

    You can try this...

    If you have another ESX host to add the data store to which the template is stored.

    After that browse the data store and go to the directory of the model. Select the model VM file and add it to the inventory and select the host on which you want to add the template... After you have added the host convert VM...

    Thank you

    Please indicate if useful...

  • Move a Virtual Machine from one place to the other?

    Hello.

    I've been getting better and better at VMWare with the help startup great I'm out here.

    I'm under free ESXi here at home. If I create a virtual machine here which is the easiest way to copy the virtual machine on an external drive and move it to a customer's location? I know that I can use Backup Exec to backup the file but I don't know there is a built-in VMWare tool to do this.

    I can't just turn off the machine and copy the virtual files via the VSphere Client on a drive, can I?

    Thank you.

    From the file menu in the client vSphere, you can export an ovf which can be restored the same way somewhere else.
