  • 1.  Migrate VMs from vCenter to another without downtime

    Posted Jun 06, 2018 10:46 AM

    Hello,

    We are planning to prepare a new environment with new hardware (hosts & storage) and new vCenter server with latest version (also deploy NSX on this environment).

    And we have an existing environment with old hardware and storage with a vcenter 6.0.

    At the end of the new deployment we have to move the VMs from current vCenter to new One without any down time.

    what is the configuration needed between the two vCenters, and how the migration should be applied ?

    Please advise,

    I think You can use Cross vCenter Shared Nothing vMotion. Most of the requirements You'll find here: VMware Knowledge Base​.

    Other option:

    If you are using the same subnet for the new vCenter Server, then you can connect your old hosts into the new vCenter and then do a vMotion inside the new vCenter ...

    Maybe also possible for your setup :smileyhappy:
