Move VM to different vcenter

I need to move a VM from one vcenter to another.

The 2 vcenters do not/cannot share storage & are in different SSO domains.

Both vcenters are 6.0.

What is the best way to do this?

Thx

Hi Meetoo,

You can achieve this in many ways,

1) SRM/vSphere Replication configuration

2) Backup in source & Restore it in Destination vCenter.

3) One of the new feature in 6.0 Cross vCenter vMotion, Refer the below document
