Hello, I just wanted to let anyone who may be looking for this answer that I was able to successfully migrate 6 VM guests on an old ESXi 5.5 to 7.3 without any issues at all. 
Hello, I am currently running an ESXi Host 5.5 host on some older hardware. I have purchased a new server and have ESXi 7.0 installed on it. My question is, Can I use the vCenter Converter 6.3 Beta ... See more...
Hello, I am currently running an ESXi Host 5.5 host on some older hardware. I have purchased a new server and have ESXi 7.0 installed on it. My question is, Can I use the vCenter Converter 6.3 Beta to migrate the guests from the old 5.5 server to the new 7.0 without any issues? Has anyone here tried this? I am planning to shut down each guest before the migration, I'm just trying to anticipate any possible issues before I do this as it is our production server. I know VMWare no longer supports 5.5 or has the converter tool to do this, so I'm wondering if this tool will work for those older guests. The guests are all different OS's from Windows to Linux. Also, does it matter if theres snapshots? Will it bring the snapshots over as well or just consolidate as it migrates? I don't need the snapshots anyways. Thanks, Jeff
