Anything special adding ESX 2.5.4 host to VC 2 server?

[taylorb]

I need to add two of my ESX 2.5.4 hosts that are currently unmanaged to my VC 2 server. The VC is currently managing 2 ESX 3 hosts. Is there anything I need to do other that go into VC and click "add hosts" like I did to add my ESX 3 boxes? Do I need to shutdown the VMs or reboot the ESX 2.5 host? I've got a lot of production stuff on my 2.5 so I don't want to kill anything or bring it down without notice.

You can easily add esx 2.x server to virtualcenter 2.

Just make sure these hosts are not currently managed by virtualcenter 1.

It was painless, thanks. I just added them during the day with no issues or prompted reboots.

Good luck with the migration.
