  Hello

  Can you get it someone please let me know how to move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even?

  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).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 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.

• Move the host / VM and Clusterconfiguration to an another VC

  Hello

  Here's the situation:

  I have 2 data centers (physical rooms) in the main Department of the city one and the other a smaller Department in city b. Two data centers have environment VSphere and a VSphere server... now we want to consolidate this... which means I want to turn off the server vsphere small in b City Department. How can I transfer the configuration full vsphere (for example, the cluster hosts and vm) on the server 'big' vsphere in the Department's main city a. city and b are related to transparent LAN...

  Welcome them

  Assuming you leave the hosts side B of the B site, you could just create a Cluster in the center of destination data and existing copy of the page by page the cluster configuration.

  Once you have done this, you should be able to remove the side hosts B and add them to the new cluster on the a-side.  The VMS should not to b off the power.

• Data store can be seen from a host, and then disappeared...

  I had a store of data on LUN 2 point.  Two GB 425 our EMC SAN LUNS have been used and it worked well on one of our ESX host.  We had not realised the rest of the armed forces had not resumed the data store.  I tried a new analysis on all hosts without success, the data store would simply not appear.  All the guests could see the LUNS, but with the same identifier.  Resignaturing disc is already enabled as these hosts also replicated LUN mount so I had to the potential problem of LUN ID set match to discount.  I checked the presentation of storage, fiber channel, zoning, everything was OK.  So I turned off the virtual machine and decided to anyone two LUNS to the Group of storage and the re - present but things only got worse...

  The data store has now completely disappeared.

  I was wondering if anyone else had encountered / solve such a problem?  I did a search on the community and the knowledge base and could not find anything to help me.

  I run fdisk and checked the Lun, but I'm stuck now.  My next step will be to log a call of support with VMWare...  Fortunately, it's on our DR site ESX host, but now I lost just a SQL database more than 600 GB in size...

  PS. This morning I had the upgrade, one of the hosts in the cluster to 4 upgrade with the latest security patches and executing tests is when I found I couldn't vmotion prompt on any other host, and then realized the missing data on other host store.  All other hosts are 2 update, but I don't think this is related.

  Gracias thank you and Marcelo vmw-sfraser,.

  I have placed a request for assistance with VMWare and see how I'm going.  I noted that the mistake so when I saw the exit and thought that it would be likely that I have to log a call.

  See you soon,.

• 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

  ESXi 4.1 (Vsphere Hypervisor)

  So have free Vmware Vsphere Client

  In this case, the options are:

  • Standalone converter
  • Browser data store (download and transfer files)
  • SCP or FastSCP and then add the virtual machine to inventory with the browser data store

• Resize and move the host partition

  Hello

  AFAIK, you can resize your disks using p2v converter. You must do the conversion, v2v using p2v converter, then you can reduce and increase the size of the disk.

• Transfer of virtual machine from one host to another extremely slow

  So, I'm going through a lot of posts on this topic, and I have not found a solution for this. We have a Vsphere 5.5 server that runs our backup server for our customers. I have a stocked vmdk thickness 8 TB. We recently bought a new server which we have installed the 6.0 vshphere on. I joined the two hosts to vcenter server. I went to a cold virtual machine migration and data from the old host to the new host. The problem is that I only get a maximum of 15 Mbps but with an average of 10. I pass a 1 Gbps with cables CAT 6A.

  The disks are connected to a controller that has an option of memory cache write-back? Without write cache, controllers usually work in write mode and hollow which would probably explain the low flow, you see.

• Migrate the virtual machine for Exchange 2010 from one host to another

  Dear members,

  Please let know us if the migration of a virtual machine for Exchange 2010 is supported to an Esxi host to another, the Esxi version is 5.0.

  There are unique Exchange environment with the role of hub, CAS and mailbox on the same virtual server. We have a maintenance window and we think moving exchange virtual machine from one host to another, but before that I need to be sure if it's supported my MS and do not want to have problems after, because I have also gotten to know here in the forums this snapshot for Exchange 2010 is not supported by Ms.

  Please notify.

  Kind regards

  I'm not aware of any limitations with VMS Exchange migration. Anyway, you can consider running the migration during the low workload.

• Impossible to select the host for the pool, can only select Cluster

  Hello

  I try to assess the view and go into the Guide of the evaluators.  When I set up the parameters of resource under the vCenter part settings of the linked Clone Pool where I'm supposed to be able to select a host or a Cluster, I have only the option to select my (not an individual host) cluster.  The problem is that not all hosts in my cluster have access to the SAN that I use for this assessment, so I wanted to be able to isolate the pool to a single host.  Is there some kind of trick to get the hosts present themselves individually?  The hosts are 5.5 ESXi and vCenter vCenter 5.5 Standard

  Thank you

  Dylan

  You can only select the cluster. "Host or a cluster" refers to the fact that if you have a stand-alone Host which is not in a cluster, you can use - so you'd have to move the host you want to use on a stand-alone host or in its own cluster.
