move VMs between 4.1 and 5.0 host

Thanks for the time.  I want to move the virtual machines that are currently on the ESXi 4.1 hosts to a host located on ESXi 5.0.  Virtual machines are on a SAN storage.  My plan is to add the SAN storage on the 5.0 hosts.  simple.  However to move the virtual machines.  From what I understand so far I will unregister the virtual machines from the host 4.1 and then save them in the host 5.0.  That should be enough right? And any preference or not the CLI or the navigation data store?  All that I'm missing?  Thanks again.

I understand how're talking it about two autonomous host computers, is not running in a server vCenter environment!

In this case, you are right. Power off the virtual machine, remove from the inventory of the old (right-click the VM) host and add the virtual machine to the inventory of the new host by right-clicking the .vmx file in the data store Navigator.

  • Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

    Dear all,

    I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

    I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

    I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

    The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

    I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

    Help, please.

    Kind regards

    Tommy

    If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

    So with the CPS, you need a little less.

    The syntax is like:

    SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

  • How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

    Hello

    I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

    You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

    It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

    If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

    -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

    -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

    -Remove all the new set of VC servers

    -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

    -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

    In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

  • Move files between the DSO and the storage library

    Hi all

    I use Oracle RAC 11 g ASM on Oracle Enterprise Linux 32-bit 2.

    I created a group of disks called + FRA for my quick/flash recovery area.
    I take the backup of my database and and all backups are created sub + FRA.

    My requirement I want old backups to a /backup of operating system mount points to be moved to the library of storage by my backup storage management solution.
    and in the case where I want to restore everything back up I'll copy back from /backup to + FRA diskgroup and then restore my database

    Is the above a good practice?
    Should what I do? CP command will help? given that I have faced questions while moving the files using the command cp of ASM to the OS directories for vice versa.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    1. I'll take a daily backup of my database to the FRA + ASM disk group.
    2 backups older then 1 month, that I need it submitted to / backup /.
    I used this: backupset finished after ' sysdate-30' backup format ' / testasm/backup%U' tag = "OLDBACKUPS" entry of deletion;
    is correct?
    or can I say backup obsolete? and there I will be backed up obsolete since FRA on different location?
    3 when I backup my Flash region recover I can instead just delete to delete the input set based on condition of "longer than 1 month?

    The question is how long you want to keep your backups in both places?
    Example:
    If I want to keep two months of backup (regardless of location)

    Configure the 65-day WINDOW retention policy;

    Above all the backup of the database will be stored on + FRA

    Then as maintenance will pass you every day all the backups more 30 days to ' / testasm / '.
    for example

    backup backupset completed after 'sysdate -xxx' format '/testasm/backup_%U' tag=OLDBACKUP delete input;
    

    So, you all first 30 days of backup on + FRA and older than 30 days in ' / testasm / '.

    So, during the restoration, the concept is the same, the Oracle will read the files in your own location.

    The two locations will be kept, catalogued and managed by RMAN.

    In this scenario, the RMAN delete expired files only in ' / testasm / ' because the older files will be there.

    If ' / testasm / ' is not shared between the nodes, I recommend that lets you share the NFS file system. (although I prefer ACFS)

    If NFS is not an option, you need to move and delete obsolete node that have mounted "/ testasm /". You should be aware of the limits of availability of this file system.

    Suppose that you backup all the files in ' / testasm / ' tape (without using RMAN) and RMAN delete these files, because they are obsolete. You can restore these files from a bunch of ' / testasm / "and catalog with this command" RMAN > CATALOGUE START WITH ' / testasm / '; This will increase you the retention of backup, but covering these files saved will be your provider of backup media retention policy.

    Hope this helps,

  • Maybe a stupid question move VMs from Intel for servers based on AMD and Vice Versa as regards

    I saw wrescie of documentation related to the limitation of the fast vMotioning of VMs between host running different platforms CPU... but nothing (so far) that deal directly with the mobile (cold, firm VMs) VMs 1 host with one type of processor to another... again, while the guest virtual computer is stopped.

    Reason for the request is that we want to buy some cheap MicroServer for ESXi Lab Use AMD-based, but hopes to move virtual machines from / to them and of / to our production based on Intel Xeon platforms.  in this case, vMotion, isn't a matter of concern.

    RHEL 5 + have all the problems, but RHEL 4 may have some problems. Check out this KB: KB 1909.

    It really depends on if the distribution has any installation of the specificities for AMD or Intel. Nowadays, most are generic, unless you customize them.

  • How can I move the home button between the front and the address bar?

    Her that I have my firefox put in place over the years is to place the buttons like this:

    [Back] [Front] [Stop/Reload] [Home] [Progress Animation] [Address bar]

    Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the home button between BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.

    I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? * confused *.

    Is there a way to do it, am I missing something? Thank you

    "I thought that FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?

    Who told you that was incorrect, as far as I'm concerned. Firefox is more customizable than the 'competition', but not as much as the previous versions were.

    The home button can be moved, but the back / button drop-down list is set to the address bar - they cannot be separated.

    The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the address bar.

    The 'old' activity indicator has disappeared. Deemed unnecessary with the animation of loading on the left corner of each tab, where the favorite icon once the page is completely loaded.

  • Migration of VMs between data warehouses

    I added a new data store to a vSphere 5.5 infrastructure and created a few scheduled tasks to migrate under tension on the virtual machines between data warehouses.

    The migration is successful, but on the source data store, I still see a lot of files for some migrated VMs, including the .vswp and vmware files - xx.log.

    This means that the scheduled task has failed?

    What have I to do to completely move virtual machines?

    Should I turn off and turn on the virtual machine?

    Concerning

    Marius

    Maybe this file are simply zombie files, generated cause an improper shutdown of the VM (take a look at the date of creation/modification of files). You can try to rename these files, if you are able to do so, these files aren't really in use. After you rename and make sure that the virtual machine works as expected, you can manually delete the files.

  • How can I get all the control in one place in 3.6.16 buttons, as they did in previous versions? Have the refresh and stop between address buttons and windows search and the home button on the far right is terrible.

    In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows and the home button on the far right.

    I'd love to have them all together as they used to be - much easier to use that way. I tried to install other themes, but the coding of this version too roll themes.

    All the buttons can be moved to the toolbar by right-clicking anywhere that isn't a button or the address bar on the toolbar and choosing Customize...

    You can then drag the buttons around the toolbar to position them toy our taste. When you click Customize... Favorites and Refresh buttons will temporarily turn into regular buttons that you can move around. If you place them to the right of the address bar, they will merge with it. If you move them somewhere else, they will become the normal buttons. You can use this to move a button on the toolbar anywhere you want.

    Themes do not set the order of the toolbar buttons and so will not replace it.

  • How can I merge albums / move photos between albums photos?

    I upgraded Mavericks in El Capitan and therefore iPhotos to Photos. In Photos, my iPhotos events are all stored in an album named iPhoto events. In iPhotos I could merge the events and move individual pictures between events. How do I do this in Photos? Thank you

    . In Photos, my iPhotos events are all stored in an album named iPhoto events.

    It should have a folder named "iPhoto events" created, with a separate album for each of your previous iPhoto events. Is this not happen?

    Photos does not have events, but the moments that are created automatically, and you cannot move photos between moments.

    If you want to have an album for each of the imported pictures, select all the new photos in the album "last import. Then press the ⌘N key combination to create a new album from selected photos. If you reveal the sidebar with ⌥⌘S, you can easily drag albums between folders and add photos to an album to a different album by dragging photos to the album in the sidebar.

  • Is it safe to leave the cover of the keyboard between the keyboard and screen retina when I close the macbook?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 15 "retina.

    I got the cover of the keyboard (not cheap but decent), and I use it everytime I open my macbook.

    However, I heard that it would be dangerous to leave the keypad cover when you close the macbook. Because it could hurt the sensitive retina screen.

    Is this true?

    Is it safe to leave the cover on my keyboard when I close the macbook? It's a little annoying move coverage of my keyboard everytime I have my macbook to opening / closing.

    If it's dangerous, is there a cover keyboard without danger to the retina on the market?

    Thanks for the help!

    I have used Moshi Clearguard kb current covers on two MacBook Pro, including retina mid-2014, I usually use closed with my Apple display 27 ". I put KB covers on as soon as I bought computers and have never deleted without fingers never touched my keys. I did it because I saw how dirty the kbs in the Apple Store, and the seller told me that once the black keys are oily, it is impossible to clean completely. I started with a silicone rubber cap. Three weeks later, I threw it in disgust and I bought a Moshi to replace.

    Moshi rugs are much thinner and lighter than the silicone rubber ones more adapted, hold their shape better, stay clear longer and are much easier to clean and type through. In addition to the one on my computer Ko, I keep one on the external Apple wireless keyboard which is always exposed on my desk. These caches really keep particulate crud, and they do not interfere with my typing at all. When they are dirty, I rub it in the sink with a detergent and a brush to vegetables, and when possible discoloration becomes noticeable after three or four years, I replace it with new ones.

    My previous MBP, a Core 2 Duo late 2008 unibody model, allows to get much hotter than my current on occasion, and I fear sometimes that heat buildup between the lowercase and the display closed would cook the KB cover or even the screen itself. But that never happened, but I guess it might have helped if any yellowing of the coverage.

    If use you Moshi hiding for seven years, I would never consider a time using a silicone back cover. I did not, and you shouldn't worry about all to close your view on a Moshi.
