vSAN development

[M1nd3]

Hello , is there a way to move virtual machine where vCenter server is installed to the vSAN storage? I only have Essential Kit License. Thank you for help.

Do you mean the vCenter itself or another vm? It's been awhile and when I faced this issue I was on Essentials+. But a cold migration might work. Or you might be able to cheat with Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition. It uses the storage APIs and can get you around these obstacles.

vCenter itself. As far as i understand if i keep vCenter server in one of the machines storage, and that machine would go down, than all system would go down. As vSphere Client only can run if the virtual machine where vCenter server is installed is running.
