  • 1.  Exporting and Importing VMs

    Posted Jan 12, 2021 11:56 AM

    Hi,

    I'm moving a VM from one ESXi host to another.  At the moment they are standalone until new kit arrives.  For the moment I have exported ovf and vmdk from the host the VM was built on but I can't import this on the second host.  Is there another way to complete this?  Hopefully using the information I have already due to the present lockdown!

     

    Thanks,

    Hello, hope you are doing fine:
    I'm going to need a little bit more information:

    Which version of ESXi are you using?

    Hi nachogonzalez,

    vSphere 6.7 should have included that!

    I will read those links now.

    Thanks,
