• Storage vmotion without vCenter

  Friends,

  I know that we cannot make a svMotion if we do not have a vCenter server.

  What are the other ways to go about this. I found a blog in it?

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/15/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

  Is this a way full proof?

  Rahul-

  Hello

  Yes, it will work fine, if all the virtual machine files are in this folder.

  If you have multiple VMDK, on different data warehouses and want to move all, it will get a bit more complicated.

• Storage vmotion vcenter

  Hello

  Is it possible to storage vmotion the vcenter server.

  Details:

  VCenter server 4.1 on windows 2008 R2

  Database Seperetae on windows 2003 Server

  The server vcenter on windows 2008 R2 server must be svmotioned. I don't have a server database storage vmotion at this time.

  If this is possible, how it safely is appreciated.

  Thank you

  non - storage vmotion is made with vm - in fact if you were to power down the virtual machine of vcenter then you would not be able to vmoyion or storage vmotion - Webcam live

• VCenter and storage vmotion on remote vmhost

  Hello

  I have the following situation and hope someone has an idea if it works.

  I have here in Germany my vcenter for our clusters here in Germany. Now, I want to have

  a Vsphere host, which relates to the vcenter in Germany. The host has a temp.

  iSCSI Storagelun. Now, I want to do/initiate a vmotion of local iSCSI storage

  disk of the server in Italy during my viclient here in Germany. -So my question is, will go

  traffic during the migration of storage on the vcenter in Germany? Or will the data traffic

  only in the Italy site? Hope someone can help me here.

  TNX in advance

  Torsten

  Storage vMotion is an operation of the host, and therefore the transfer of data should remain completely in Italy.

• improvements of Storage Vmotion vCenter 4

  Storage Vmotion improvements in vCenter 4 include a new change block tracking feature that can really improve this feature. I have a few vmotions really big storage to perform.

  My question is, these part improvement in vCenter 4, or VMS must be level hardware version 7 to take advantage of theses improvements.

  I think that it is for vCenter and not based on the version of virtual machine.

  Point will be awarded.

  Thank you

  I think that it is for vCenter and not based on the version of virtual machine.

  Is no not part of vCenter, is a part of ESX, vCenter MANAGES the entire process, it's not ACTUALLY the process.

  a.p. has a point, that it is part of the equipment of the V7, but he points out as Troy STILL won't make a difference for sVmotion.

  In all these improvements are just a part of what ESX 4 is all about, and I have ALWAYS said (do not take into account or not) 64-bit has EVERYTHING to do with these improvements, and less to do with the code changes.  I think that 64-bit made these changes possible, and that is what has helped vSphere / ESX enormously.

• question of vMotion and storage vMotion

  I have everything set, UCS 5108, ESXi host, VMs, I don't have a SAN connection yet... My question is if I can enable vMotion? Let's say I have a cluster in vCenter, within this group, I have attached two ESXi host, win2008 VM in an ESXi and running, I can migrate (using vMotion) as win2008 VM to an another ESXi without connection SAN?

  How storage vMotion to an ESXi host hardrive to an another ESXi host hardrive? Is this possible?

  Note: I have not connection SAN in this configuration

  One of the requirements for vMotion is shared storage that would allow visibility between source and destination ESXi hosts. (SAN, iSCSI or NFS).

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R41/vsp_41_dc_admin_guide.PDF

  pages 210 to 215

  You can use OpenFiler as an iSCSI for lab tests SAN

• Storage vMotion of 4.1 to 5.5?

  I am in the process of upgrading our environment vSphere. I need critical servers vmotion ESX 4.1 at the glomerulus ESXi 5.5 cluster. The two groups are now managed by a 5.5 vcenter server.

  See attachment. The PROD4 cluster hosts are all ESX 4.1 and the Production cluster hosts are the ESXi 5.5

  Can I install 5.5 on another host and add it to the cluster PROD4 so that I can vmotion VMs critical for her, then vmotion them to the 5.5 cluster?

  Bottom line, it is how to make virtual machines on hosts 4.1 5.5 guests without interruption?

  I can think in this case is to add one of the hosts of the old cluster/storage, vMotion the VMs on that host, ESXi 5.5 and then use the Web Client vSphere to migrate hosts and data store to the new cluster. With vSphere 5.5 and the Web Client, you can do this even without shared storage.

• double control system - storage vmotion with or without storage in common?

  If I have a cluster of existing (vsphere 5.1), where 5 guests are all connected to the FC storage, and then I create a new cluster (managed by the same vcenter) with its own storage space, and leaders of each group DO NOT access other cluster storage:

  I can storage vmotion a computer virtual from one cluster to another?

  Y at - he of the opposition? Takes if press the company or company longer? The servers are in the same cluster, or is simply to be managed by the same sufficient vcenter?

• Where can I download Storage vMotion Plugin?

  Hello guys,.

  I'm looking to download Storage vMotion Plugin in vmware.com but I can't find...

  I have the vCenter Server version 5.1 Build 1235232... Is there something I missed?

  Thanks in advance for your answer

  Best regards

  
  

  Storage vMotion to migrate a virtual machine to another data store.  VMotion allows you to migrate a virtual machine to another host.  If you want to migrate a virtual machine to another host and store data at the same time, the virtual machine must be stopped.

  Also, please do not forget to mark answers useful and accurate.

• Storage vmotion of storage facilities to storage San in ESXi 5.0

  Hello

  I have the host couple ESXi 5.0 with license free of all is vmdk are located in storage facilities. Moving all the vm for local to the SAN storage data store, but the local data store attached failed to attend several ESX host as storage shared, is there a way that allow me to use the method of storage vmotion to migrate all the vmdk to centralize SAN without interruption?

  I have a vcenter to manage whole army but only for normal administrative task. How can I set the local data store storage shared storage and able to present multiple hosts?

  Hello

  Do you have the vSphere licenses?
  If so, you can add the vCenter ESXi hosts, present SAN storage for ESXi hosts and perform Storage vMotion (migrate the data store) local storage to SAN storage.

  You will need because the function of storage vMotion (migrate) is a feature of vCenter vCenter, this option is not available in standalone ESXi.

  See the documentation here - migration of Virtual Machines with svmotion: vSphere Documentation Center

  If you can accept interruptions of service, you can use the migration cold: vSphere Documentation Center

• Storage vMotion possible with ESXi Std Edt or not?

  Hi all

  We have two implementations of VMware with ESXi Standard edition licenses installed on the two site. A site has vCenter Server Foundation edition while the other has vCenter Server Standard Edition.

  The problem is that the site with vCenter Std and vSphere 5 Std doenst allow storage vMotion (see image below)

  

  While, on the other hand, site 5 Stnd vSphere with vCenter Foundation allows storage Vmotion (see image below)

  

  How is it so that vSphere Stndard this edtion of different characteristics in different places?

  I had recorded the call and found the solution... VSphere 5.0 and 5.1 gives really different set of features with the same Std license vSphere.   Take a look at the link for options available with vSphere 5.0 and 51 below.

  1 compare vSphere 5.0 editions

  Compare the editions of vSphere VMware for Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  VSphere editions 2 - compare 5.1

  Compare VMware vSphere editions: managed Virtualization & amp; Cloud Computing

  For a test, I used the same Standard edition server with 5.1 key to it has worked well with Storage vMotion Option available :-)

• Cannot Storage Vmotion between EMC Celerra NFS and NFS VNX

  Recently we have improved our infrastructure VMware 3.5 to 5.0. Managed to migrate all virtual machines to the Esxi5.0 without any problems. More recently, we bought new storage EMC VNX 5300, set up and configured the NFS storage for the early. All the warehouses of new data related to blades and all storage pools, old and new can be found under vCenter.

  Problem we have is that we can not Storage vMotion virtual machines of the old Celerra NFS for new NFS VNX stores. It comes back with the error "cannot access file VM VNX {datastore} filename '. We got a similar message appears when you try to create a new virtual machine or import an OVF on VNX new data warehouses.

  We have the license of the company, with Dell M600 blades with EMC storage as mentioned above.

  Pointers would be appreciated

  Kem

  Thanks for your contributions, but I solved it. A bit of a 'schoolboy error', but although I had added to the VMKernel IP in the host root and read-write in the NFS export properties, I also need to add the IP address of the hosts/blades. Storage vMotion successfully in new stores VNX. THX Kem

• Storage Vmotion - have

  Olá Senhores, tudo beleza?

  UM client adopt Vmware no ambiente quer usar Doi/place CF, pretende usar Storage Vmotion, HA hosts alem, ele thought em HA of storage.

  Pergunto:

  Docks e os pre-have technical material para what a coisa h.? SEI nao e only comprar o vSphere Enterprise, tem, but things a consider.

  E, em um mesmo ambiente, vale a pena adopt Doi storages fazer para Storage Vmotion? OU seria desnecessario, works as storage so, em um e totally redundante ja.

  Valeu!

  Ivanildo,

  Quando você faz storage vmotion, ele copia o servidor e leva para o outra lun do storage você estiver utilizando, or ate mesmo para um storage diferente, very ele nao mantem an original of copia, ele move os dados e pronto.

  Em relaçao has ter experiencia voce precisar a lun of e origerm a lun of destino do no host wave esta VM. Em caso migrar by um mesmo as a VM atualmente esta diferente storage, basta as host VMware have access o e have a lun mapeada.

  Caso VM is em disco local, e serums migrada para o storage, Sera necessario desligar a virtual machine.

  Caso a snapshot of o have VM, voce ter than deletar, snapshot dependendo da versão VMware than used, senao POIS voce me engano na versão 5.X ja e fazer storage vmotion instant com possible.

  E tem also one part of licença as voce ja says.

  Segue documento com maiores details sober requerimento e limitacoes.

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-4-ESX-vCenter/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.vSphere.dcadmin.doc_41/vsp_dc_admin_guide/migrating_virtual_machines/c_storage_vmotion_requirements_and_limitations.html

  Como o Rafanovo says, o Storage Vmotion or o DTS sao nao para manter alta Tranquilo storage, nesse caso você precisa replicar um storage os dados para outro of forma com você sempre uma copied storage Principial has no storage of contingencia preferencia em tempo real, para as voce garanta than seus dados are atualalizados.

  Usually some storages ja tem essa characteristic of sincronismo e copy os dados.

• Storage vmotion to much to a vmfs

  Hello

  I have a virtual server with 6 virtual drives in 4 different vmfs.

  and want to migrate all records in 1 vmfs, but what happens to the names of disk if I use storage vmotion?

  At the moment I have 2 EX01_1.vmdk and 4 disknames EX01.vmdk.

  Is storage vmotion ' "smart enough to rename the disks on the fly?

  all disks will be renamed to match the subject name of VirtualCenter.  They will not bear the original name.  When you Storage vMotion, you rename the underlying files to match the name of object of vCenter.
