Hello!
Thank you for your reply!
I checked the local HCX and I have 5 Compute Profiles.
They are all in different clusters, and I need them in only one cluster.
I think I should edit the profiles and only change which cluster they should be in (after checking if all the necessary VLANs are configured). Is this the right approach?
Will this change and subsequent resync in the Service Mesh cause any downtime?
Thank you again.

Hello, they should be moved by editing the associated profiles and performing a resync of the Service Meshes. Also, ensure to upgrade to the latest version (v4.11.3), and pay attention to the release notes as some features (such as WAN OPT) are either deprecated or removed.
If the clusters do not share the same VDS, the NEs will have to be removed and recreated.

Hello!
A few years ago, we had our VMs migrated from on-premises to OCVS.
We are currently working on organizing the on-premises datacenter, where we need to move some VMs to other hosts/clusters.
There are some VMs (WO, NE, IX) that need to be allocated to other clusters/hosts.
We considered performing the migration with vMotion, but after researching these appliances, it seems they should not be migrated using vMotion, but rather by recreating the profiles through HCX.
What is the best way to perform this migration smoothly? We cannot lose the extended network created between on-premises and OCVS.
