• 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.

• Problem transfer VM from one host to another, different VCenter Server ESXi

  Hello everyone.  I'm new on communities, please excuse my lack of experience of VMWare.  I have a problem with the migration of computers and I hope someone here can help you.

  We have two independent groups in my building that each have their own installer of VMWare.  They each at least two hosts ESXi, VCenter Server, san, etc.  They are in separate laboratories on separate subnets.  I need to get a system in place where some images migrated in one laboratory to another on a regular basis, but I'm running into obstacles.

  My first attempt was a copy of the right lane.  Lift the file in my store of data takes about 5 hours, and the final result is a vmdk file is not set up.  I don't know why.  I created a new VM the custom option usign and attempted to add an existing hard drive.  When I accessed this file in my data store, there is no evidence, even if a 50 GB file is really there. I also tried to install this vmdk as a second hard drive to an existing image file, and I end up with the same result.  The Add Hardware Wizard does not have the file as an option.

  My second attempt was to have a group to create a clone of the server and let it off.  Then, I tried to run an import of a clone of one VCenter Server installation to another.  This leads to an error that it was 'Impossible to determine the operating system called'.

  I also tried to import the clone in an installation of SCVMM MS I'm hungry.  That no longer works.

  We don't have a VMotion. We have Essentials more licenses.  A group is running ESXi 4.0 hosts and the other is running ESXi 4.1 hosts.  What is the best way to get an image from one group to another?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Joe

  You can always use tools such as Veeam Backup and replication, it will take 5 hours for the first complete copy maybe, but then it's just modified pieces which are transferred.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• vCenter server from unit 5.5 after the migration from one host to another host

  Hello

  
  

  I had to migrate our VCenter Server Appliance VM (5.5 x) that uses the database into another ESXi host.

  Once the VM has moved successfully from one host to another, after the virtual machine restarts, I'm not able to connect to it.

  I get the following error: Client is not authenticated to the Service of the inventory of VMware - https://web-vcenter1:10443

  I searched and followed many articles KB including KB 2037952 with no luck. I refreshed the

  SSL certificates, etc. and ideas.

  Hi Ryan,

  I fixed all my issues in upgrading the VCSA to the latest version. Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  Other treatments VCSA had already been upgraded to this version and it worked very well.

  Thanks for help with ideas.

• 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.

• 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...

  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.

• 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

• Moving installation of cluster COE from one box to another box

  We want to move the WCC existing (cluster) from one box to another box (the two unix). We have the cluster / folder {who have records cs /, vault /, weblayout /} on the drive shared, mounted in the source running on 11.1.1.6.0 machine.

  We installed the same facility in the destination area. We want to follow the steps below to move the config., destination data source.

  (1) stop the source servers.

  (2) modify the details of the db in destination of weblogic in the source db console.

  (3) remove the shared / source folder and mount in the destination area. (The vault, weblayout, cs files will be mapped directly to destination ucm)

  The other qns we are

  (1) the above steps are correct and COE will work without any problem.

  (2) do, the houses of the area must be synchronized (because the destination area is a fresh installation)

  
  

  Just to test, I copied the cluster/cs / source folder to the destination and destination of the content servers are working properly. (I did not copy arch / weblayout and changing the db)

  I saw an article on cloning of WCC servers

  It is Possible to Clone content Webcenter 11g? (Doc ID 1507480.1()

  He said the documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10105/testprod.htm#ASADM11306

  Target already exists, it is just asking migrate config. using CMU. Should I worry field homes or cluster/cs is sufficient for the WCC smooth if they are synchronized?

  Thank you

  Narasa salvation,

  Yes, the steps you listed should be fine, as long as the details of the path are kept on the new host.

• How to migrate a VM from one cluster to another cluster using PowerCLI

  I'm trying to migrate VMS from one cluster to another cluster.

  I can perform this migration of vsphere, but not through powercli.

  Best regards

  The first shot must also have a data store setting.

  Move-VM -VM $vm -Destination $NewHost -Datastore $ds -Confirm:$falseMove-VM -VM $vm -Destination $ResourcePool -Confirm:$false
  

  Unless your data warehouses are shared between the 2 groups and you intend to keep these warehouses of data with the new cluster.

• Trying to copy a virtual machine from one server to another

  Hi all

  I'm new to ESXi 4, although I used VMWare Workstation for years.  I am trying to copy a virtual machine from a Windows system (Sysprep) from one host to another.  The two hosts are identical systems with the exact same ESXi host configuration.  Same hw, same version of ESXi, same setup, same size of the partition.

  When I use the Vsphere data store browse to 'download' the vmdk and vmx files to a local drive (Windows Server 2003), I get the following 3 files: the same vmx file, a tiny vmdk file and a file huge filename - flat hard.  The file vmdk on browser to store data from the source host is about 23 GB.  The flat on the local system vmdk file is almost 63 GB.

  Can I reopen Vsphere on the destination server and "load" the 3 files in a directory that I created in the data store.  Once there, I use the browser "Add to inventory."  When I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get the error message "not enough space on the data store."

  Any ideas of what I could have done wrong?  Again the data store configuration is identical:

  Local disk to VMware: 62.95 GB, Total formatted capacity: 62,75 GB.  1 VMFS 3.33 MB block size it's the only VM on the system.

  Thanks in advance,

  Mark

  What you see is by design.

  When you try to copy a disc loaded end service, with the browser data store or FastSCP, the virtual disk will be inflated. Use the converter such as recommended by AlbertWT.

  Since the virtual disks of destination must already 60 GB of disk space you may not able to power on the virtual machine, because there is not enough disk space for the swap file, which is the size of the configured RAM (less reserve, if necessary).

• 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.
