Hyper-V migration to VMware ESXi 6
Hello,
I have a private testing enviroment with 2x Custom build servers, currently running Hyper-V 2012 R2.
The hosts are running some standard Windows VMs (2vCPUs, 4-8GB mem, etc...), but 2 of the VMs have each attached 9TB .vhdx for storage.
If im correct there was a limitation in the previous ESXi versions, only being able to attach a maximum of 4TB volumes to a guest VM - is this correct?
In ESXi 6 it looks like the maximum disk size on VMFS5 is 62TB, which is more than enough hosting the servers ![]()

My question is:
I might want to migrate all the VMs on the Hyper-V hosts, to 2x standalone VMware ESXi 6 hosts.
I currently dont have a Hyper-V cluster, so i dont need any redundancy that the V-Center might provide.
What limitations (if any) will i get, migrating the VMs to 2x standalone VMware hosts?
Also what license will be best for my needs? ![]()
Thanks in advance ![]()
