• Storage vMotion to vCenter

  I have a Windows 2008 VM for vCenter on my lab. I'm under ESXi 5.1.

  I would like to know if it is possible to storage vMotion this Windows 2008 VM to a different data store, without losing of damaging vCenter server.

  I use Express database on Windows 2008.

  Yes, if your vCenter is licensed for Storage vMotion you can do it without problem.

• 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

• Please explain SVmotion (Storage Vmotion) and DRS for storage in simple words

  Storage DRS is a feature that you allow warehouses of data aggregated on a single object (cluster) and recommend the implementation of disks in virtual machine based on the performance of the store of data and the available space on the data store.

  The DRS storage uses Storage vMotion to migrate virtual (online) computers from a data store to another to balance data store performance and space.

  You can use Storage vMotion without storage DRS too, moving virtual machine between clusters of DRS storage and warehouses of data even from the local level to the data store shared.

• Home profiles without vCenter?

  Hello

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1 with local storage (not SAN).

  We have a large amount of the installation of groups of port on a server that I would like to move to another. We don't have the space for all Storage vMotion our vCenter for the other server.

  I would like to use a profile of the host to manage the above, but the "put the host in maintenance mode" means to stop or suspend vCenter. Is it possible to handle this?

  Or maybe just the copy of all groups of ports and VLAN ID script?

  I understand the 'usual' situation is to have a SAN - but this deployment use only for several reasons.

  One of the scripts of William Lam should help.

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

• 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.

• How to copy a virtual machine from one bank to another bank without storage vmotion?

  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... :-(

  Can I migrate a powered off power VM from local drive to SAN datastore?

  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.

• 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).

  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.

• 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

• 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

  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
