Can I move VM from ESX 3i to another ESX 3i server?

I would like to move a virtual machine from esx 3i server to another esx 3i server. Can ths be done?

Yes you can. You need to migrate from virtual center if they are in the same datacenter

Unfortunately, they are not int eh same datacenter. Two different physical locations.

You can try using convertor but unless things are under the same datacenter is Virtual Center this becomes a lot harder

FYI: this thread has been moved to the ESXi 3.5 forum.

Do you have network connectivity between the 2 locations? If you do you could still use Converter to move the VM from one host to another. Otherwise you could use Converter to move the VM to a local drive (say of a laptop) and then use Converter again at the other location to move the VM from the laptop to the ESXi host.

This might be an idea.
