VMVI's Posts

Hi     I have a situation that, i have to migrate the VAPP contains with multiple VM's from vCloud 5.5 to VRA 7.1.0.  i saw the below url Migrate a VM from vCloud Director to vCloud Automation Center | Brian Ragazzi , Is there any procedure/process to migrate the vAPP from vCloud to vRA?

Hi,    I am looking for help on migrating the XenApp environment from vSphere 5.5 to vSphere 6.0 with live migration there is no common storage. Is there any procedure to do live migration? Thank you in-advance for your time and support.

Hi   I have a situation, that I want move the VM from esxi6.0 to esxi5.5 host and the vCenter is 6.0. When I am trying to migrate VM (H/W version is 10) from esxi 5.5 to esxi 6.0, I am able to see the esxi 6.0 and esxi 5.5 hosts under webclient-->migrate-->change both compute and storage resource --> select compute resource. There is no shared storage between esxi 5.5 and 6.0. But when I am trying to migrate the VM from esxi 6.0 to esxi 5.5 , I am not able to view the esxi 5.5 host under webclient-->migrate-->change compute resource only / change both compute and storage resource --> select compute resource (no error message is displayed). If I use legacy client and tried to migrate the VM from esxi 6.0 to esxi 5.5, I am unable to migrate back the VM due to their is not shared storage. So is there a procedure or steps that, VM can migrate back from esxi 6.0 to esxi 5.5 host? Thank you in-advance for your help.

I have a vCenter version is 6.0, a EVC enable cluster is created with two hosts and the details as below:-   host 1 is Power edge M620 with Processor type CPU E5-26600@2.20GHz installed with ESXi6.0, connected to ESX6-VDS switch(distributed switch) and   host 2 is UCS B200-M3 with processor type CPU E5-26800@2.70GHz, running on ESXi5.5 hooked up to ESX5-VSS(standard switch).    I have VM residing on host 2 connected to VM portgroup on VSS (ESX5-VSS) I enabled the EVC mode with "Intel® "Sandy Bridge" Generation". Goal:- is to migrate live VM from host 2(esxi5.5) to host 1.(esxi6.0), including vm network migrating from VSS to VDS with out taking downtime Issue:- option1:- While migrating the VM, from host 2 to host 1, i choose "change compute resource only"--> in the Hosts section, i didn't see the host 1 information, just host 2 is displayed (screen shot:- img1). option2:- If i choose the change both compute resource and storage-->select compute resource first and select the host1, in the compatibility section, "compatibility checks succeeded". but when i choose the source network from VSS to destination network VDS I am getting error "Changing the network and host of a virtual machine during vMotion is not supported on the "source" host "host2".(screen shot:- img2). Any steps towards problem resolving will be appreciate. Thank you in-advance for your time and support.

Hi   I have a situation that, i have a two esxi5.5 host(1,2) part of cluster1 and two esxi 5.5 host(3,4) part of cluster2  all the 4 hosts are under same vcenter 5.5. The hosts 1(four nics),2(four nics) are part of VDS1 (vsphere distributed switch)and hots 3(four nics) part of VSS1(vsphere standard switch) and host 4(four nics) part of VSS2(vsphere standard switch). I am looking for steps/procedure 1:-how to migrate the VM's from cluster 1(host1,host2) part VDS1 to cluster2(host3,host4) part of VSS1/VSS2?(with out taking any downtime or any packet loss to VM's). (attached the same info in picture). Thank you in-advance for your help.

Hi   I have a situation that, i have a two esxi5.5 host(1,2) part of cluster1 and two esxi 5.5 host(3,4) part of cluster2  all the 4 hosts are under same vcenter 5.5. The hosts 1(four nics),2(four nics) are part of VDS1 (vsphere distributed switch)and hots 3(four nics),4(four nics) are part of VDS2(vsphere distributed switch). Each hosts is having 4 nics all nics are mapped to VDS(vsphere distributed switch) as uplinks. I am looking help for 1:-how to migrate the VM's from one VDS1(hosts1,2) to VDS2(hosts3,4)as the hosts connected to different VDS. 2:- As i tried to migrate the VM's from one VDS1 to another, as the hosts are not part of the same VDS, the VM's are unable to move.  How to connect the hosts1,2 to VDS2 and hosts3,4 to VDS1.?
