HI all.
Im in the final stage of the migration process from esx 2.5 servers to esx 3.0.1 servers
The question is...How i do the migration of the Virtual center Virtual machine? If i do a Dmotion i cant do the Upgrade of Virtual Hardware because the VCenter VM will be Powered off.....
I cant do Cold migration because if i turn off the VM i cant access to the vcenter ![]()
What is the solution ?
Thanks

I cant do Cold migration because if i turn off the VM i cant access to the vcenter
you can connect the ESX host directly using the VI client and start the VC VM this way

but using VIclient i cant UPGRADE VIRTUAL HARDWARE right?
you can upgrade the virtual HW using the VI client connected to the ESX
While i did not test that, I'd still say that this works.
Otherwise all the people without VC wouldn't be able to upgrade ...
you are 100% sure ? ok. i test it.
thanks
Yes I'm sure for the reason cheeko mentioned and because I've done this myself when upgrading a standalone ESX 2.5 server to ESX 3
If i can do that from VI client...i can too from CLI ? with which command? because vm-upgrade command is only in vcenter.
thanks
Don't know if a CLI version exists.
If you right click the VM in VI client there's a command "Upgrade virtual hardware".
worked fine!
thanks a lot
