Migrar maquinas virtuales entre dos cluster en diferentes redes

Buenos días

Necesito que por favor me ubiquen sobre el procedimiento que debo de hacer en la siguiente situación:

Tengo un datacenter y un vcenter en una ciudad y tengo otro datacenter y otro vcenter en otra ciudad y necesito migrar unas MVs del datacenter de una ciudad al datacenter de la otra ciudad, que actividades debo de realizar para hacer esto, necesito de alguna herramienta de vmware para hacerlo?

Agradezco su colaboración

Alejandro,

It is possible, however, it is necessary to meet certain requirements:

  • The source and destination vCenter server instances and ESXi hosts must be running version 6.0 or later.
  • Requires Enterprise Plus licensing
  • When initiating the moves in the web client both source and destination vCenter instances must be in Enhanced Linked mode and in the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain (When using API this is not a requirement)
  • Both vCenter Servers must be time synced for SSO to work
  • For migration of compute resources only, both ESXi hosts must be connected to the shared virtual machine storage.
  • When using the vSphere APIs/SDK, both vCenter Server instances may exist in separate vSphere Single Sign-On domains. Additional parameters are required when performing a non-federated cross vCenter Server vMotion.
  • MAC address must no conflict (different vCenter ID’s will ensure this)
  • vMotion cannot take place from distributed switch to standard switch
  • vMotion cannot take place between distributed switches of different versions (source and destination vDS must be the same version)
  • RTT (round-trip time) latency of 150 milliseconds or less, between hosts
  • You must create a routeable network for the Traffic for Cold migrations (Provisioning network from VMkernel types)

I recommend reading these two links:
